Almirante Irízar — Pan-America Special Tier X Cruiser.

Following the end of World War II, British company Vickers-Armstrong developed a new light cruiser (Design 1124A) taking into account the lessons learned from the war. It combined modern fire control with a strong main battery of twelve 152 mm guns and improved 120 mm secondary guns. Created to be modified with different armaments to suit customer needs, the core design was intended to be offered to the major South American navies, including Argentina's. However, due to the acquisition of interwar American light cruisers by these nations, the new design was no longer required.
