The Argentine squadron numbered 15 vessels, including three major ships: the flagship goleta Sarandí under the direct command of Brown, the goleta Maldonado under the command of the young Francisco Drummond—fiance of Brown's daughter—and the Bergantín Balcarce, with 14 cannons and under the command of Francisco José Seguí.
The name appears on an Argentine government chart of 1957 and was applied in remembrance of the Argentine naval victory of 1827 at the Battle of Juncal.
