ARA Luisito (Q-51) is a training ship of the Argentine Navy, in service since 1985 and based in Mar del Plata; where she is used to train students from Argentina’s National Fishing School. The vessel is the first Argentine naval ship with this name. [2][1]

Design

Luisito is a fishing trawler built in Japan. She has a single mast on top of the superstructure, and a crane on her stern to haul the fishing net. [3]

The ship can only use the Trawling fishing method.[2]

History

Luisito was donated by Japan in 1983 to the National Fishing School (Spanish: Escuela Nacional de Pesca) “Comandante Luis Piedrabuena”, which depends from the Argentine Navy. The donation was part of a Technological Cooperation Agreement between the governments of Argentina and Japan, to be used in applying the theoretical concepts learned in class.[2]

In 2008 it was intended to overhaul her, however the required budget was not allocated.[4]
