Shouldn't the 25 de Mayo have Super Etendards?

Yes and no. They Super E's were purchased but never deployed because the 25 de Mayo had major engine failures and remained at port right after the purchase. All she ever carried was A-4's and S-2's.

Thanks Mike. I new the Argentinians had them and were supposed to be deployed but wasn't sure. I saw a picture of her with both A-4s and Super Es said to be taken in 1985 and that's why I asked.

Found these images supposedly from 25 de Mayo with Super Es and A-4s. MAybe they went out once before the port confinement?
