Argentine Navy: Pictures of the "25 de Mayo"

Pictures of you, V2

Photos of the Colossus class aircraft carrier ARA V-2 "25 de Mayo" of the Argentine Navy. Without a doubt, the most important ship that has ever been part of the Sea Fleet. We miss you, 25M!

The Tracker S2-E (2-AS-22) was the only one that did not have the anti-reflective panel painted, the Argentine flag on the rudder, it lacked the word Argentine on the fuselage and it did not have anchors on the wings. (credit C. Napolitano)
