Atlantic Ocean (Oct. 26, 2005) - The Argentinean destroyer ARA Almirante Brown (D 10) leads in a formation during a leapfrog exercise off the coast of Brazil
ARA Almirante Brown (pennant number D-10) is the lead ship of the MEKO 360H2 series of four destroyers built for the Argentine Navy. The ship is the ninth ship in the history of the Argentine Navy to be named for Admiral William Brown, the founder and commander of the Argentine Navy during Argentina's war of independence against Spain.
