Sumner-class destroyer in the service of the U.S. Navy, commissioned in 1944. She was assigned to the Pacific Fleet where she remained until 1960, when she returned to California in 1960 following a collision with the USS Ammen DD 527. From then until she was bought by Argentina in 1974 she was used for coastal operations.
