Hércules — Pan-American Tier I cruiser.
British River-class frigates, designed to escort convoys in the North Atlantic, were sold off heavily after World War II. USS Asheville, a Canadian-built ship, remained in the U.S. Navy until 1946 but was later sold to Argentina. There, she served under the name "Hércules" and then "Juan B. Azopardo" until 1973.
Hércules was first released for sale on DD MMM YYYY.
