The Muratore-class patrol boat ARA King (P-21), was commissioned into service with the Argentine Navy in 1946. Originally classified as a minelayer, it displaced 1,030 tons, had a crew of 130, and was armed with three 105mm guns and four 40mm Bofors automatic anti-aircraft guns. It was named after Juan King, an Argentine naval officer that served in the Cisplatine War, and was the third vessel to carry this name. In 1955, ARA King took part in the Revolucion Libertadora, and then saw more action during the clashes of 1962–1963. Overhauled in 2015–2018, at the time of writing she remains in service as the oldest vessel of the Argentine Navy. (Artwork by Ivan Zajac)
