I wish to thank Santiago L. Aversa for providing me
information and numbers of four Trackers I was unaware of still being used by
the Argentine Navy or on display or in storage. This is excellent
information and we are very grateful for his continuing assistance. The
first four numbers listed below (700-704 are the Argentine Navy Serial numbers.
The numbers following are call signs which can change depending on which unit it
is serving with. These below in this section are all Turbo Trackers,
having been converted by the Argentine Navy Workshop in 1996 time frame.
This is all great information!!
