Ushuaia Naval Base

The Ushuaia Naval Base or Admiral Berisso Integrated Naval Base is the southernmost port of the Argentine Navy, situated in Ushuaia on the shores of the Beagle Channel.

[1] It is named after Emilio Rodolfo Berisso, a naval officer assassinated in 1972 by the Revolutionary Armed Forces.

The base is used by Argentine Navy ships participating in each year's Antarctic Campaign for maintenance and resupply.

The geographical area of its jurisdiction includes the province of Santa Cruz, the Big Island of Tierra del Fuego and the island of the States, and the southern maritime spaces that reach the 60º South parallel.

As of 2021, President Alberto Fernandez announced plans to turn the Naval Base into an Antarctic Logistic Centre.
