On Argentinian Service
	20k	Hipolito Bouchard or Buchardo (born in Saint-Tropez, France, 15 January 1780; died in Peru, 4 January 1837). Argentinian military man and corsair who fought in the service of Argentina and Peru.		Francisco Javier Santos Vazquez
The USS Borie DD-704 (ARA Bouchard) on Argentine service was the escort for the ARA Gral Belgrano (USS Phoenix, a Brooklyn class cruiser) in the Malvinas War. She received a torpedo hit from HMS Conqueror but the torpedo did not explode. The submarine fired 3 torpedos at the cruiser, two hit the cruiser and exploded, the third torpedo hit the destroyer. (History thanks to Gaston Miñones.) Adalberto Alvarez added the following items from the Malvinas War: May 2nd, the torpedo hit caused damages on the hull with water entry, and also broke the sonar. May 16th, the Bouchard opened fire with both forward mounts, repelling a disembarkation attempt by the SAS from a British submarine opposite Río Grande (near the Navy base and air station), in Tierra del Fuego. The Bouchard was the only unit that fired ammunition of this caliber during the war.
	146k	The First and Second Destroyer Divisions in 1979 at the Naval Base of Puerto Belgrano, near Bahia Blanca in the south part of Buenos Aires Province. Since no hull numbers can be seen it is impossible to accurately identify each ship, however, the ships present include the D 22 Rosales (ex DD 644 Stembel), D 29 Piedrabuena (ex DD 730 Collett), D 25 Seguí (ex DD 702 Hank), D 23 Domecq Garcia (ex DD630 Braine), D 24 Storni (ex DD 547 Cowell), D 27 Py (ex DD 877 Perkins) and the D 26 Bouchard (ex DD 704 Borie). Additional info thanks to Adalberto Alvarez; "In the photograph, the ships on the right belong to the 2nd Division of Destroyers. On the left, we see the 1st Division of Destroyers, and we find the Bouchard among these. (The Bouchard was assigned to the 2nd Division in 1980). The ship we see on the front of the 1st Division Destroyers is not the Bouchard, because the Bouchard didn’t have that kind of life rafts until 1982, during the war. The ship in the middle belongs to the Fletcher class. This means that the Bouchard is the one moored to dock."		Horacio Héctor Virardi
