This list includes all major warships that entered service with the Argentine Navy since being formally established in the 1860s.[n 1] It also includes ships that were purchased by Argentina but did not enter service under Argentine flag. The list does not include vessels prior to the 1860s; and it also excludes auxiliary ships (tugs, transports, colliers, tankers, scientific vessels, etc.) which are listed separately.
In addition, there is a separate list of ships currently in service with the Argentine Navy, regardless the type.
The list is organized by type of ship, by class within each type, and by entry date within each class. Service entry dates indicate the ship's commissioning into the Argentine Navy, and not the ship's entry in service with another navy unless specifically said.
