ARA Drummond (P-31) was the lead ship of the Drummond class of three corvettes of the Argentine Navy. She was the second vessel to be named after Scottish-born Navy Sergeant Major Francisco Drummond.
She was based at Mar del Plata and conducted fishery patrol duties in the Argentine exclusive economic zone, where she captured several trawlers.[5] According to reports in November 2012 the Drummond class "hardly sail[ed] because of lack of resources for operational expenses".[6]
