Nueve de Julio
Brooklyn-class light cruiser USS Boise was laid down in 1935 at the Newport News shipyard. The ship participated in World War II, where she received 11 battle stars: in the battle of Cape Esperance, in the landings on Sicily and Taranto, and in campaigns in New Guinea and the Philippines. In January 1951, the cruiser was sold to Argentina and renamed Nueve de Julio (Spanish for "ninth of July") in honor of Argentina's Independence Day. In 1955, the ship participated in the liberation revolution that put an end to the Peronist rule. After the end of her service, Nueve de Julio was used as a guardship and floating barracks. Later, there were plans to convert her into a museum ship in the United States.
