Mar del Plata Naval Base, Naval base in Mar del Plata, Argentina.

The naval installation extends along the Atlantic coast with multiple docks, submarine pens, and specialized maritime facilities for the Argentine Navy fleet.

The base, established in 1826, developed into the primary home for Argentina's submarine fleet and became a strategic point during World War II operations.

The Submarine Force Command Museum inside the base preserves naval artifacts, war flags, and exhibits documenting Argentina's maritime military heritage.

The facility maintains several operational vessels, including corvettes, submarines, and research ships that conduct regular patrols in South Atlantic waters.

German submarines surrendered at this base after World War II, with their equipment now displayed in the naval museum collection.
