ThePeruvian Navy (Spanish:Marina de Guerra del Perú, abbreviatedMGP)[b] is the branch of thePeruvianArmed Forces tasked with surveillance, patrol and defense on lakes, rivers and the Pacific Ocean up to 200 nautical miles (370 km; 230 mi) from the Peruvianlittoral. Additional missions include assistance in safeguarding internal security, conductingdisaster relief operations and participating in internationalpeacekeeping operations.
TheMarina de Guerra del Perú celebrates the anniversary of its creation in 1821 on October 8 and also commemorates the decisiveBattle of Angamos, the final part of the naval campaign of theWar of the Pacific between Peru and Chile at the end of 1879.
TheMarina de Guerra del Perú was established on 8 October 1821 by the government of generalJosé de San Martín. Its first actions were undertaken during theWar of Independence (1821–1824) using captured Spanishwarships. The Peruvian Naval Infantry was also formed during the war with Spain, performing successfully in their first battle where they seizedArica from the Spanish.[2]
Shortly afterwards it was engaged in the war against theGran Colombia (1828–1829) during which it conducted ablockade against theseaport ofGuayaquil and then assisted in the subsequent Peruvian occupation. The Navy saw further action during the war of thePeru-Bolivian Confederacy (1836–1839) and during theChincha Islands War with Spain (1866).
The outbreak of theWar of the Pacific (1879–1883) caught the Peruvian Navy unprepared and with inferior forces in comparison to theChilean Navy. Even so,hit-and-run tactics carried out by PeruvianAdmiralMiguel Grau, commander of theironcladHuáscar, famously delayed the Chilean advance by six months until his death and defeat at theBattle of Angamos.
Following the War of the Pacific, the Peruvian Navy had to be completely rebuilt. In 1900 the force consisted of only onecruiser of 1,700 tonsdisplacement, a screw-drivensteamer, and ten smaller ships – the latter described by a contemporary British publication as "of no real value".[3] The lengthy process of expansion and rebuilding started in 1907 with the acquisition from the United Kingdom of thescout cruisersAlmirante Grau andCoronel Bolognesi, followed by the arrival of two submarines,Ferré andPalacios, from France in 1911. During thePresidency ofAugusto B. Leguía (1919–1930) a NavyMinistry was established as well as aNavy Aviation Corps, both in 1920.
Border conflicts withColombia in 1911 and 1932 and awar withEcuador in 1941 saw Peruvian warships involved in some skirmishes in support of theArmy. Theattack on Pearl Harbor broughtWorld War II to the Pacific and even though Peru did not declare war on theAxis until 1945, its Navy was involved in patrol missions against possible threats by theImperial Japanese Navy from early 1942 up to mid-1945.
During the 1970s and the first half of the 1980s the Peruvian Navy carried out a major buildup programme[4] which allowed it to take advantage over its traditional rival, the Chilean Navy. The navy purchased one cruiser theBAPAlmirante Grau (CLM-81) from the Netherlands, eightCarvajal-class frigates from Italy – four newly purchased and four ex-Lupo-class frigates – as well as sixPR-72P-classcorvettes from France. The buildup proved to be temporary due to the economic crisis of the second half of the 1980s, forcing thedecommissioning of several warships and resulting in a general lack of funds formaintenance.
The economic upturn of the 1990s and into the 2000s would later permit some improvement, although at a reduced force level compared to the early 1980s.[citation needed]

Into the 21st century, the Peruvian Navy began to modernize their ships. In 2008, the Type 209/1100 submarines were modernized[5] while theCarvajal-class frigates began to be modernized in 2011.[6] The Type 209/1200 submarines began to be modernized in late-2017 beginning with theBAPChipana (SS-34).[5]
SIMA has continued to construct ships for the Navy. In 2013, SIMA partnered withPosco Daewoo Corporation and Daesun Shipbuilding of South Korea to construct twoMakassar-class landing platform docks.[7] TheBAP Pisco (AMP-156), recently launched on 25 April 2017, as well as the BAP Paita which is currently under construction will providePeru with increasedexpeditionary warfare capabilities, with the ability to accommodate multipleLanding Craft Vehicle Personnel, newly purchasedLAV IIs and helicopters.[7][8]
In 2018, a modernization program was initiated to upgrade Peru'sType 209/1200 submarines, theBAPChipana,BAPAngamos,BAPAntofagasta andBAPPisagua, with a contract withThyssenKrupp Marine Systems being made for further assistance with SIMA.[9]
During the2017–present Peruvian political crisis, the Navy of Peru was involved in political scandals. During thefirst impeachment process against presidentMartín Vizcarra, the next in theorder of succession to the presidency, President of the CongressManuel Merino, had been in contact with the Commanding General of the Navy saying that he was attempting to remove Vizcarra from office.[10] While the2021 Peruvian general election was underway, the imprisoned former head of theNational Intelligence Service (SIN)Vladimiro Montesinos was able to make phone calls from alandline telephone at theCentro de Reclusión de Máxima Seguridad (CEREC) at the Callao Naval Base to organize projects and campaign support forKeiko Fujimori in theVladi-audios scandal.[11][12][13]

| Organisation |
The currentCommander-in-Chief of the Peruvian Navy isAdmiralLuis José Polar Figari. Naval Forces are subordinated to theMinistry of Defense and ultimately to thePresident as Chief Supreme of the Peruvian Armed Forces. They are organized as follows:
Operational units are divided between three commands:
Pacific Operations General Command, it comprises the following units:
Amazon Operations General Command, tasked with river patrolling in the Peruvian portion of theAmazon Basin.
Directive General of Captains and Coast Guard, oversees Coast Guard operations

Coast Guard, tasked with law enforcement on Peruvianterritorial waters, rivers and lakes. The Peruvian Coast Guard often performs anti-drug trafficking operations within the nation's waters. The Coast Guard has approximately 1,000 personnel.[14]
The Naval Aviation Force(in Spanish): (Fuerza de Aviación Naval,AVINAV) is the air branch of the Peruvian Navy, its roles include anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, maritime surveillance, reconnaissance and transport of marine personnel. It is also responsible for airborne operations of the Peruvian Marines. Naval Aviation has about 800 personnel.[15]
Although most of the fleet is based at Callao, this has not been considered an ideal location since it is also the main outlet for Peruvian trade, causing space and security problems. In the 1980s the building of a new naval base at Chimbote was considered though high costs and a poor economic situation made the project unfeasible.[16]
