“Argentina needs to have a modern naval infrastructure to be more effective and generate synergy to develop suppliers and work,”

Argentina always says that it wants “negotiations to find a peaceful solution” of the “Malvinas question”. How could there be a peaceful solution when they give their military ships offensive names such as “ARA Puerto Argentino” (Puerto Argentino is the Arg, phantasy name for Stanley) or “ARA Islas Malvinas”. What would Argentina say if the R.N. launched “HMS Patagonia” or “HMS River Plate”?
