Ex USN 152828 built as an S-2F and converted to an S-2G in 1962. Retired to MASDC in April 1975 and transferred by sea to Argentina in October 1995. Allocated serial Argentine Navy serial 0860 and code 2-AS-27 but never entered service and used for spares, hence its MASDC code is still visible below the tailplane, although the serial and final USN unit marks (VS-38/NH-714) have been painted over. Arrived at Luján in May 2024 and is being restored for display by a team of local volunteers.
