De acuerdo a las previsiones para el desarrollo de la actual #CampañaAntártica 2021/2022, se iniciaron las actividades en base #Petrel, tendientes a la reconversión de la misma.
Petrel constituye una prioridad para el @MindefArg quien ha ordenado al @EMCOFFA_Arg, desarrollar un plan de cuatro etapas para convertir la base en un nodo logístico que permitirá hacer más eficiente el transporte de personal y cargas entre el continente y las bases antárticas.
Con la llegada al extremo norte de la Península Antártica de los buques Transporte ARA “Canal Beagle” y Aviso ARA “Puerto Argentino”, se inició la operación de descarga de los materiales, vehículos y maquinaria vial en la base antártica conjunta #Petrel.

On 25 Oct 1944 the US #Navy escort #carrier ST LO CVE63 #StLO survived an attack by #Japanese battleships and cruisers in the Battle off Samar, part of the bigger Battle of #Leyte Gulf. Later that morning, however, the ship was hit by a #kamikaze. facebook.com/search/top/?q=…
The carrier became the first major warship sunk by kamikaze attack, exploding and burning and sinking after half an hour. 143 US sailors were killed. The R/V #PETREL discovered ST LO's wreck earlier this year, yielding more amazing imagery. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_St._Lo ImageImageImageImage
Even after 75 years the ship's camouflage paint is easily discerned. Twisted and broken steel evoke the terrible destruction that sank the jeep carrier. ImageImageImageImage
