The ''Almirante Brown'' class is a class (MEKO 360H2 type) of warships built in Germany for the Argentine Navy. They were commissioned between 1983 and 1984, after the Falklands War. Argentina classifies them as destroyers, reflecting the fact they are the main warships of the Argentine fleet, but they are similar to general-purpose frigates of other nations. The Argentine Navy struggle to meet maintenance and training requirements because of financial problems and import restrictions. The ''Almirante Brown'' class were reported to be short of spares and suffering engine problems. In addition it has been reported that the ordinance for the ships is past its expiration date. ==Specifications== *Displacement: 2,900 tons (empty); 3,360 tons (full load) *Length: 413 ft (125.9 m) *Beam: 49 ft(15 m) *Draught: 19 ft(5.8 m) *Propulsion: * *2 shafts * *2 Rolls-Royce Tyne RM-1C cruise gas turbines, tot. * *2 Rolls-Royce Olympus TM-3B boost gas turbines, tot. * *Max shaft horsepower: max *Speed: *Range: at *Armament * *8 × MM40 Exocet SSM * *1 × 8-cell Albatros SAM (24 Aspide missiles) * *1 × OTO Melara Otobreda 127/54 Compact * *4 × twin 40 mm 70-cal.
