Almirante Brown was ordered as part of Argentina’s effort to maintain naval parity with neighbouring Brazil and Chile. The cruiser was constructed by the Italian shipbuilding firm Ansaldo at Genoa in Italy. She was laid down in 1927, launched in 1929, and commissioned into Argentine service in 1931. The vessel was the lead ship of a two-cruiser class that also included ARA Veinticinco de Mayo. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/argentine-heavy-cruiser-almirante-brown-c-1/ #MaritimeHistory #NavalHistory #Cruiser #HeavyCruiser #ArgentineNavy

HMS Hawkins was the lead ship of the Hawkins-class heavy cruisers, built for the Royal Navy during World War I. Conceived in 1915 as a response to German commerce raiders, she was designed to be fast, have long endurance, and be heavily armed with 7.5-inch guns – larger than those on contemporary British light cruisers. Although launched in 1917, she entered service in 1919, after the war had ended.
