Armament

ARA Jujuy was one of two Catamarca-class destroyers built for the Argentine Navy during the 1910s in Germany. They were constructed there as Argentina lacked the industrial facilities needed to build them. Completed in 1912, the ship often served as a training ship. She was modernized and rearmed during the late 1920s. Jujuy was assigned to the active fleet upon the completion of her modernization in 1931 before being transferred to the River Squadron in 1942. She was permanently reduced to reserve in 1947, discarded in 1956 and sold for scrap four years later.
