Luisito was donated by Japan in 1983 to the National Fishing School (Spanish: Escuela Nacional de Pesca) "Comandante Luis Piedrabuena", which depends from the Argentine Navy. The donation was part of a Technological Cooperation Agreement between the governments of Argentina and Japan, to be used in applying the theoretical concepts learned in class.
In 2008 it was intended to repair her, however the required budget was not allocated.
In May 2024 Luisito underwent a major overhaul at SPI shipyards in Mar del Plata.
