ARA Almirante Storni (P-53)

ARA Almirante Storni (P-53) is the third Gowind-class offshore patrol vessel constructed for the Argentinian Navy.

The French shipbuilder Naval Group launched the hull of ARA Almirante Storni on 10 May 2021 at Lanester, before moving it to Concarneau for fitting out. It is the second ship of the Argentine Navy to be named after the former Minister of the Navy and Vice Admiral Segundo Rosa Storni. The first was the Fletcher-class destroyer ARA Almirante Storni.

In May 2024, Almirante Storni, in conjunction with her sister ships ARA Bartolomé Cordero and ARA Piedrabuena, the destroyers ARA La Argentina and ARA Sarandí, as well as the corvettes ARA Espora and ARA Rosales, was tasked to participate in joint exercises with the US Navy's USS George Washington (CVN-73) carrier task group. The exercises were the first to take place between the two navies in several years.
