ARA Fournier (M-5) was a Шаблон:Sclass of the Argentine Navy. She was in service from 1940 until her sinking in 1949.

Design and description

The Bouchard-class minesweepers were the first large warships built in Argentina. They were intended to complement and eventually replace the Argentine Bathurst-class ships purchased from Germany after World War I.[1]

The Bouchard class was based on the Bathurst-class design, with diesel engines instead of steam engines and larger calibre main armament. However, these ships had poor stability, which eventually led to the loss of Fournier in 1949.[1]

The minesweepers were Шаблон:Convert long overall and Шаблон:Convert between perpendiculars with a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a draught of Шаблон:Convert. The Bouchard class had a standard displacement of Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert at full load. They were powered by 2-cycle MAN diesel engines turning two shafts rated at Шаблон:Convert. They had a capacity for Шаблон:Convert of fuel oil, a maximum speed of Шаблон:Convert, and had a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[2][3][n 1]

The ships were armed with two single-mounted Шаблон:Convert/47 calibre guns.[n 2] For anti-aircraft defence, the minesweepers were equipped with one twin Шаблон:Convert mount. They also carried two Шаблон:Convert machine guns and were initially equipped with two depth charges.[2][4] The Bouchard class had a complement of 62.[3]

Fournier was built at the Sanchez shipyard in San Fernando.[5] She was launched in 1939, and handed over from the shipyard on 13 October 1940.[5][6]

On 21 September 1949, Fournier departed Río Gallegos for Ushuaia.[6] The minesweeper never made contact again, and was declared missing on 28 September.[6] She was later determined to have sunk on or around 4 October after striking a rock in the Magellan Straits, about Шаблон:Convert south of Punta Arenas.[5][7] All hands on board, initially reported as 60[6] but later established to be 77, were lost.[7]
