I think there may be a typo in that the General Belgrano was a cruiser and not a carrier as mentioned.
She was built as USS Phoenix (CL-46), the sixth of the Brooklyn-class light cruisers in 1935/launched in March 1938, and retired in July 1946. USS Phoenix was sold to Argentina in October 1951. The vessel was renamed General Belgrano (C-4).
