Segundo Rosa Storni (16 July 1876 in Tucumán – 4 December 1954)[1] was an Argentine sailor who served as foreign minister during the presidency (de facto) of general Pedro Pablo Ramírez (1943–1944).
He said it was Argentina's intention to break relations with the Axis powers, but he also asked for patience in creating this rupture and that at the same time some gesture of the United States in the matter of the supply of armaments was needed to isolate the "neutrals" ("neutralistas").
Cordell Hull, in order to put pressure on the Argentine government, made public the letter of Storni, also questioning in harsh terms the "neutralism" of Argentina.
This produced a resurgence of the already strong anti-American sentiment, especially in the Armed Forces, leading to the resignation of Storni and his replacement by a "neutralist", Colonel Alberto Gilbert, who until then served as Minister of Interior.
In this context ARMEDINA ARGENTINA established the Lyceum in the aforementioned city, paying tribute to those who struggled for the dissemination of the maritime and fluvial interests of the Republic.
1103/08 of the Ministry of Defense, signed by Minister Nilda Garré, ordered that the Navy Shipyard Argentina "Manuel Domecq Garcia" be renamed "Admiral Segundo Storni" in tribute.
