'''RFA ''King Salvor'' (A291)''', initially '''HMS ''King Salvor''''' (W191),<ref>[http://www.uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/7713.html "HMS King Salvor (W 191)"]</ref> was the [[lead ship]] of a class of 12 salvage vessels of the [[Royal Fleet Auxiliary]]. A 13th ship was completed as the submarine rescue vessel {{HMS|Reclaim}} for the Royal Navy.

''King Salvor'' was built by Wm. Simons & Co. Ltd. of [[Renfrew]] as ''Allegiance'',<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hicon.pl/~pothkan/hhwn/Argentina-Aux.html |title=Argentina: Auxiliary Vessels |accessdate=2009-07-11 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090201034437/http://hicon.pl/~pothkan/hhwn/Argentina-Aux.html |archivedate=1 February 2009 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> launched on 18 May 1942, and commissioned on 17 July 1942.

The ship converted into a submarine rescue bell and target ship, and renamed HMS ''Kingfisher'' in April 1954.

Decommissioned in 1960, the ship was sold to the [[Argentine Navy]] in December 1960 and renamed ''Tehuelche'' in 1961, ''Guardiamarina Zicari'' in 1963, and disposed of in 1974.
