| The '''UNSC ''Buenos Aires''''' was a [[UNSC]] [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]", ''page 438''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| ==Background==
| |
| The ''Buenos Aires'' was sent after the Insurrectionist-captured ship, [[UNSC Callisto|UNSC ''Callisto'']] in what would come to be known as the [[Callisto Incident|''Callisto'' Incident]]. It was destroyed and all crew members presumed lost when a stolen UNSC nuclear warhead was detonated by the ''Callisto''.
| |
|
| |
| ==Operational History==
| |
| After the ''Callisto'' had been captured by the Insurrectionists, the UNSC sent the ''Buenos Aires'', the [[UNSC Jericho|UNSC ''Jericho'']], and the [[UNSC Las Vegas|UNSC ''Las Vegas'']] to hunt it down.
| |
|
| |
| On March 2, 2494, the group managed to confront the captured ship. All ships fired six of their seven [[Ares Missile]]s. However, the ''Callisto'' managed to evade the attack by hiding under an asteroid. They then detonated it towards the ships by using a nuke that had been planted beforehand. The ''Buenos Aires'' was destroyed, and the other two ships were seriously damaged.
| |
|
| |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *It is named for the [[wikipedia:Buenos_Aires|capital]] of Argentina.
| |
| *The description of the ''Buenos Aires''' destruction erroneously states that her antennae and [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] trajectory sensors were boiled away. However, no UNSC vessel was equipped with a MAC at the time. The UNSC Destroyer {{UNSCship|Gorgon}} became the first several years later.
