ARA Fournier (M-5) was a Bouchard-class minesweeper of the Argentine Navy. As the rest of her class, Fournier was basically designed for coastal or riverine service; notwithstanding, the Argentine Navy deployed the Bouchards to the South Atlantic in patrol and resupply missions, The weight of her armament and the low upper works resulted in the ships' unstability in open seas. Fournier was in service from 1940 until her sinking during a gale in 1949 while crossing from the Atlantic to the Pacific through the Magellan Straits, with heavy loss of life.
