A partial list:

Vospor (now BAE) - 2 1,200 ton corvettes for Oman built 1993-1997.

Yarrow (now BAE) - 2 2,300 ton corvettes for Malaysia built from the early 1990s to 1999.

BAE - 3 2,000 ton corvettes for Brunei built from 1995-200- Brunei decided to back out of the deal, a court decided BAE had fulfilled all of the contract and Brunei had to accept them, and Brunei put them up for sale - they were purchased by Indonesia.

BAE - 3 2,600 ton corvettes for Oman - last one delivered earlier this year.

BAE - 3 2,200 ton OPV for Trinidad & Tobago from 2007-2013 (T&T backed out, and the vessels were completed for Brazil).

BAE (and its Vospor subsidary) have been overseeing license-building of Vospor/BAE-designed FACs & OPVs in other nations from the early 1980s to present.
Guess the british naval industry did sell ships after 1982, after all. Poor information on my side. Apologies.

Regarding the access to credit by Argentina, here´s some news. Yesterday the government managed to get something like U$S 980 at a 1,75% interest rate a year, over a two year period. The article in an economic argentinean paper:

El Gobierno emitió bono atado al dólar por u$s 983 millones - Ambito.com
