Emilio Rodolfo Berisso (15 of maypole of 1923, Temperley- 28 of December of 1972,Lomas de Zamora) was a military Argentine who was a victim of murder by the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR), during the government de facto of Alexander Agustín Lanusse. At the time of his death, he was married to Sarah Elsa Gamberoni and had 6 children.

In his honor, the Argentine Navy gave the Ushuaia Naval Base the name "Admiral Emilio Rodolfo Berisso." Emilio Berisso attended the Río Santiago Naval School from February 1940 to 1944, when he graduated as a midshipman and traveled to the United States in 1948 to complete the Artillery course at the United States Naval Academy. In 1956 he took the general course of the Naval War College and in 1967 he took the higher extension course.

He directed the Francisco de Gurruchaga Navy Complementary School; He was second commander of the training ship La Argentina and advisor to the Argentine Military Delegation to the Inter-American Defense Board in Washington. From February 1971 he held the position of chief of policy and strategy of the Naval General Staff until his later retirement.

On December 28, 1972, Berisso went shopping at the Disco supermarket, located on Meeks Avenue in the city of Lomas de Zamora. As he was in the parking lot walking to his car, a young gunman got out of a Ford Falcon vehicle occupied by four people. The young man fired three shots almost at point-blank range that knocked down the naval officer; He fired a fourth shot while he was falling and another two, already at close range, when he was on the ground. The attacker got into his vehicle and fled at high speed followed by a Fiat 600 car that had served him as support. Berisso was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died at around 1 p.m.

The Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) claimed responsibility for his murder and one of those accused of Berisso's murder was the poet Paco Urondo, who for this reason remained in prison between February 14, 1973 and May 25 of the same year.

When asked about the fact, Perón gave his implicit approval by answering "if he were 50 years younger, it would not be incomprehensible that he was now planting bombs or taking justice into his own hands."

In the issue of the Red Star magazine of February 17, 1973, an organ of the People's Revolutionary Army, after mentioning the Trelew massacre, he expressed:

From the moment the massacre became known, the armed organizations announced that they would avenge this murder ... The sentences of the armed organizations have begun to be carried out with the execution of Rear Admiral Berisso ... There will be no forgiveness for war criminals. As today, through the FAR comrades, the people through their armed organizations will punish without hesitation those whose sole mission is to support the regime, through crime and murder. 6 In a radio message broadcast the same day, the de facto president Alejandro Agustín Lanusse expressed:

Admiral Emilio Rodolfo Berisso has been assassinated from behind with the natural cowardice of those who appeal to the fanaticism of irrational violence, because they are dominated by the madness that arises from their hatred of the will of the people and desperate because Argentines are repulsed by their outdated and immoral ideas and we have closed them all possibility of imposing them. 7 The Ushuaia Naval Base bears his name: "Almirante Emilio Rodolfo Berisso Naval Base".
