I see a Argentinan Navy Tracker????

Yep! In these photos as well.. I guess from an exercise between Brazil and Argentina. Info from wiki: As of 2010, with the retirement of Argentina's only aircraft carrier, the Trackers are annually deployed on board Brazilian Navy NAe São Paulo during joint exercises ARAEX and TEMPEREX and with US Navy's aircraft carriers during Gringo-Gaucho maneuvers.
