Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner waves to supporters upon the arrival of the Argentine navy ship ARA Libertad at the harbour in the seaside resort of Mar del Plata Jan 9, 2013. The navy ship was given a triumphant homecoming on Wednesday three months after it was seized in Ghana on behalf of a hedge fund suing over defaulted government bonds. The ARA Libertad, a tall sailing ship used as a training vessel, was detained in the West African nation on Oct 2 due to a court order obtained by NML Capital Ltd as it fights to get full repayment for the bonds in the courts. A UN maritime court ordered the ship's release last month after the Argentinian government asked it to intervene.[Photo/Agencies]
