Acorazados clase Giuseppe Garibaldi

Abstract

The four armored cruisers of Italian origin class Garibaldi joined the Argentine naval fleet between 1896 and 1898 and served the country until the middle of the first half of the twentieth century. The first of them, named Giuseppe Garibaldi, gave the class its name, and its arrival influenced both the tactics and the strategic conception of Argentina, with derivations in international politics. All of them because of their capabilities, characteristics and the technological leap that they implied for the Nation, indicated a course of more horizons and greater possibilities for the Argentine Navy.
