[Platforms] Italian Aretusa

[francis Mitchell]

Marilynn and All:

The ARETHUSA (F-38) (as far as I know) was a British frigate, built 1961 
or there abouts, probably scrapped by now..   The ARETUSA  *looks like* 
an Italian ship as per your list.  .

Regards

It looks like an Italian warship since it has a call sign that starts with "IA" according to the document above. Is anyone familiar with this document?
