''Argentina'' and her sister ship, , used MARAD Design P2-S2-9a. Construction was subsidized by the United States Maritime Administration under title V, sections 501 and 504 of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936. Ingalls Shipbuilding had the lowest US bid at $24,444,181 ($ today) for each of the two ships. The Maritime administration subsidized the cost of construction by paying $19,528,362 ($ today) to support the US shipbuilding industry.
