Hércules
British River-class frigates, designed to escort convoys in the North Atlantic, were sold off heavily after World War II. USS Asheville, a Canadian-built ship, remained in the U.S. Navy until 1946 but was later sold to Argentina. There, she served under the name "Hércules" and then "Juan B. Azopardo" until 1973.
