ARA Independencia ~ Ex HMS Warrior

In January 2003, Mr. Victor Driussi very kindly sent me the following photographs of ARA Independencia. Victor's father served on her.

ARA Independencia ~ Usuhaia, Tierra del Fuego ~ 1961

The docks at Usuhaia were too small for the ARA Independencia so the crew would have used boats to get to and fro. The mountains behind the ship are the Andes. Machi, Carlos Rufino, calls this a special place, the Andes and the Atlantic Ocean together.

Carlos informs me that these are F4U Corsairs
