The list of active ships of the Argentine Navy includes ships currently[when?] in commission with the Navy, or operated by the Navy on behalf of other organizations.
As of the mid-2020s, there were about 40 commissioned ships in the navy, including 3 destroyers, 1 amphibious support ship and 2 submarines (though both boats were non-operational as of 2022). As of the latter 2010s, the total displacement of the fleet (including auxiliaries) was approximately 128,461 tonnes.[citation needed] The draft 2023 budget submitted to Congress envisages 60 days of navigation for technical and tactical naval training. These were 19 fewer days than in 2022. In contrast, in 2012 the naval force was allocated 358 sailing days.[1] However, the 2025 defence budget envisaged the navy as completing 480 days of "navigation" in that year.[2]
As part of the Argentinian Navy’s modernisation and streamlining plans, in September 2024, it was announced that four of its older ships would be auctioned off, including two corvettes, a tugboat and a survey ship.[3] Subsequently, all three of the navy's Drummond-class corvettes were retired following prolonged inactivity for two of the three vessels.
