HAVANA — The first British warship to visit Cuba since before the 1959 revolution sailed into Havana Bay
Monday november 15, 2010, where it was greeted by a Cuban Navy band playing "God Save the Queen."
With its colors flying and bright red Sea Dart missiles poised on deck, the destroyer HMS Manchester pulled into port opposite Old Havana, the historic center of the Cuban capital, at the start of a five-day visit to the Communist-led island.
In recent years the Cuban Navy has nearly ceased to exist.
All submarines, frigates, minecrafts, patrol vessels and amphibious crafts
are reported to be non-operational, derelicts, permanently moored, hulked,
etc.
Many vessels listed are probably inoperable, and the decline in Cuban forces
is expected to continue without end.

The Argentine government will build a submarine with nuclear propulsion.
This was confirmed by the minister of defense, Nilda Garré, to lanacion.com.
Political News, La Nación, Thursday, 3 June 2010, by Daniel Gallo.
Exclusive for lanacion.com. The Government has decided to build a submarine with nuclear propulsion. This was confirmed by the minister of defense, Nilda Garré, to lanacion.com during a press conference at Edificio Libertador.
"Argentina cannot remain at the margins of this technology," said Garré, explaining the political determination to move forward in the use of nuclear energy as a propulsion system for warships.
Brazil announced a year ago its work seeking to build its nuclear submarine. In this connection, the government of Lula da Silva signed an agreement with France. The Argentine project will be based on the technology developed by Invap. Nuclear weapons are not contemplated, but only the use of energy in ships, in a five-year plan.
