Argentina eyes amphibious assault ships, tank landing ships

In an interview with Pucará Defensa, Rear Admiral Carlos María Allievi, Chief of the General Staff of the Argentine Navy, confirmed that the Argentine Navy is considering the acquisition of Landing Platform Docks (LPDs) and Landing Ship Tanks (LSTs).

Rear Admiral Allievi highlighted the Navy’s interest in two specific LPD designs: the Makassar-class and the VARD 7 313 design.

These vessels are seen as critical components in enhancing the operational capabilities of the Argentine Navy, particularly in amphibious operations and disaster response scenarios.
