Public summary
Patagonia is Argentina's fleet replenishment ship and a key enabler for naval endurance. Replenishment-at-sea, cargo support and helicopter-capable logistics allow surface ships to operate farther from port and support deployments in the South Atlantic. Its value is sustainment rather than combat, but that role is important for a geographically large operating area.
