ARV Almirante García (F-25) was the sixth ship of the Mariscal Sucre-class frigate of the Venezuelan Navy.

Venezuela ordered six Lupo-class frigates from CNR in 1975 as a replacement for older warships.

In general terms, their appearance and equipment is similar to those built for Peru, except for some differences in electronics and missiles.

Almirante García was laid down on 21 August 1979 and launched on 4 October 1980 by Cantieri Riuniti dell'Adriatico at Riva Trigoso.

With the change of name of the Venezuelan naval force, the unit prefix changed from ARV (Armada de la República de Venezuela) to AB (Armada Bolivariana).
