Public description
The Almirante Brown MEKO 360H2 class is Argentina's principal high-end surface combatant class. Exocet anti-ship missiles, Aspide air defence, heavy gun armament, ASW weapons, radar, fire-control sensors, combat management, EW and helicopter facilities give it the navy's broadest escort and surface-warfare profile. With several ships still active and one retired, the class remains central to Argentina's blue-water identity even as age and readiness limit its practical availability.
