Argentina placed orders for Moreno and her only
sister ship,
Rivadavia, in reply to a Brazilian naval building program. After Moreno was completed in March 1915, a series of engine problems occurred during her
sea trials which delayed her delivery to Argentina to May 1915. During the 1930s the ship was occupied with diplomatic cruises to Brazil, Uruguay, and Europe until the

Decommissioned in 1949, Moreno was
scrapped in Japan beginning in 1957. (Full article...)
