Probably not a new find. But, new to me. In Ushuaia, Argentina.

Thanks for the post, looks like another World War 2 boat, just rotting away. Wish we had her back.

Pretty awesome, a 40mm forward and aft. These are from better days when still in Argentinian service. I may be wrong but I think 2 boats were serving there:
