The Peruvian Navy ({{langx|es|link=no|Marina de Guerra del Perú}}, abbreviated MGP){{efn|Alternatively the Armada Peruana (abbreviated AP)}} is the branch of the Peruvian Armed Forces tasked with surveillance, patrol and defense on lakes, rivers and the Pacific Ocean up to {{convert|200|nmi}} from the Peruvian littoral. Additional missions include assistance in safeguarding internal security, conducting disaster relief operations and participating in international peacekeeping operations.

The Marina de Guerra del Perú celebrates the anniversary of its creation in 1821 on October 8 and also commemorates the decisive Battle of Angamos, the final part of the naval campaign of the War of the Pacific between Peru and Chile at the end of 1879.

History

=19th century=

File:Angamos2.jpg, 8 October 1879]]

The Marina de Guerra del Perú was established on 8 October 1821 by the government of general José de San Martín. Its first actions were undertaken during the War of Independence (1821–1824) using captured Spanish warships. The Peruvian Naval Infantry was also formed during the war with Spain, performing successfully in their first battle where they seized Arica from the Spanish.{{cite web|title=Comandancia de Fuerzas de Infanteria – Marina de Guerra del Perú|url=https://www.marina.mil.pe/page/comandanciainfanteria|website=marina.mil.pe|publisher=Marina de Guerra del Perú|access-date=December 29, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161229111554/https://www.marina.mil.pe/page/comandanciainfanteria|archive-date=December 29, 2016|url-status=dead}}

Shortly afterwards it was engaged in the war against the Gran Colombia (1828–1829) during which it conducted a blockade against the seaport of Guayaquil and then assisted in the subsequent Peruvian occupation. The Navy saw further action during the war of the Peru-Bolivian Confederacy (1836–1839) and during the Chincha Islands War with Spain (1866).

The outbreak of the War of the Pacific (1879–1883) caught the Peruvian Navy unprepared and with inferior forces in comparison to the Chilean Navy. Even so, hit-and-run tactics carried out by Peruvian Admiral Miguel Grau, commander of the ironclad {{ship||Huáscar|ship|2}}, famously delayed the Chilean advance by six months until his death and defeat at the Battle of Angamos.

=20th century=

Following the War of the Pacific, the Peruvian Navy had to be completely rebuilt. In 1900 the force consisted of only one cruiser of 1,700 tons displacement, a screw-driven steamer, and ten smaller ships – the latter described by a contemporary British publication as "of no real value".{{cite book|editor-last=Keltie|editor-first=J. S. |title=The Statesman's Year Book: Statistical and Historical Annual of the States of the World for the Year 1900 |location=New York |publisher=MacMillan |date=1900 |page=887}} (Retrieved via Google Books 3/4/11.) The lengthy process of expansion and rebuilding started in 1907 with the acquisition from the United Kingdom of the scout cruisers {{ship|BAP|Almirante Grau|1907|2}} and Coronel Bolognesi, followed by the arrival of two submarines, Ferré and Palacios, from France in 1911. During the Presidency of Augusto B. Leguía (1919–1930) a Navy Ministry was established as well as a Navy Aviation Corps, both in 1920.

Border conflicts with Colombia in 1911 and 1932 and a war with Ecuador in 1941 saw Peruvian warships involved in some skirmishes in support of the Army. The attack on Pearl Harbor brought World War II to the Pacific and even though Peru did not declare war on the Axis until 1945, its Navy was involved in patrol missions against possible threats by the Imperial 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{{cite web|url=http://www.country-data.com/frd/cs/peru/pe_appen.html#table25|title=Armed Forces Strength in selected years, 1829 – 1992|access-date=February 21, 2015}} which allowed it to take advantage over its traditional rival, the Chilean Navy. The navy purchased one cruiser the BAP Almirante Grau (CLM-81) from the Netherlands, eight Carvajal-class frigates from Italy – four newly purchased and four ex-Lupo-class frigates – as well as six PR-72P-class corvettes from France. The buildup proved to be temporary due to the economic crisis of the second half of the 1980s, forcing the decommissioning of several warships and resulting in a general lack of funds for maintenance.

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|date=May 2020}}

Into the 21st century, the Peruvian Navy began to modernize their ships. In 2008, the Type 209/1100 submarines were modernized{{cite web|title=Peruvian Navy begins Type 209/1200 submarine modernization|url=https://navaltoday.com/2017/12/14/peruvian-navy-begins-type-209-1200-submarine-modernization/|website=Naval Today|date=December 14, 2017|access-date=December 15, 2017}} while the Carvajal-class frigates began to be modernized in 2011.{{cite web|title=Marina de Guerra del Perú {{!}} COMOPERPAC|url=https://www.marina.mil.pe/en/organos/comoperpac/superficie/|website=Peruvian Navy|access-date=July 28, 2017}} The Type 209/1200 submarines began to be modernized in late-2017 beginning with the BAP Chipana (SS-34).

SIMA has continued to construct ships for the Navy. In 2013, SIMA partnered with Posco Daewoo Corporation and Daesun Shipbuilding of South Korea to construct two Makassar-class landing platform docks.{{cite web|title=Peru launched its First LPD – BAP Pisco Landing Platform Dock|url=http://www.navyrecognition.com/index.php/news/defence-news/2017/may-2017-navy-naval-forces-defense-industry-technology-maritime-security-global-news/5178-peru-launched-its-first-lpd-bap-pisco-landing-platform-dock.html|website=Navy Recognition|access-date=July 27, 2017|date=May 4, 2017}} The {{ship|BAP|Pisco|AMP-156}}, recently launched on 25 April 2017, as well as the BAP Paita which is currently under construction will provide Peru with increased expeditionary warfare capabilities, with the ability to accommodate multiple Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel, newly purchased LAV IIs and helicopters.{{cite web|title=GDLS culmina las entregas de LAV II a la Infantería de Marina peruana-noticia defensa.com|url=http://www.defensa.com/peru/gdls-culmina-entregas-lav-ii-infanteria-marina-peruana|website=Defensa.com|access-date=July 23, 2017|date=August 19, 2016}}

In 2018, a modernization program was initiated to upgrade Peru's Type 209/1200 submarines, the BAP Chipana, BAP Angamos, BAP Antofagasta and BAP Pisagua, with a contract with ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems being made for further assistance with SIMA.{{cite web|url=https://navaltoday.com/2017/12/14/peruvian-navy-begins-type-209-1200-submarine-modernization/|title=Peruvian Navy begins Type 209/1200 submarine modernization|website=Naval Today|date=December 14, 2017|access-date=December 15, 2017}}

During the 2017–present Peruvian political crisis, the Navy of Peru was involved in political scandals. During the first impeachment process against president Martín Vizcarra, the next in the order of succession to the presidency, President of the Congress Manuel Merino, had been in contact with the Commanding General of the Navy saying that he was attempting to remove Vizcarra from office.{{Cite web|date=2020-09-12|title=El Gobierno peruano califica de "golpismo" la moción de censura contra Vizcarra|url=https://www.abc.es/internacional/abci-gobierno-peruano-califica-golpismo-mocion-censura-contra-vizcarra-202009130155_noticia.html|access-date=2020-09-17|website=ABC|language=es}} While the 2021 Peruvian general election was underway, the imprisoned former head of the National Intelligence Service (SIN) Vladimiro Montesinos was able to make phone calls from a landline telephone at the Centro de Reclusión de Máxima Seguridad (CEREC) at the Callao Naval Base to organize projects and campaign support for Keiko Fujimori in the Vladi-audios scandal.{{Cite web|date=2021-07-01|title=Operaciones "irregulares" del 'Doc' desde la Base Naval |url=https://www.idl-reporteros.pe/operaciones-irregulares-del-doc-desde-la-base-naval/|access-date=2021-12-21|website=IDL Reporteros}}{{Cite web|title=Los fantasmas vuelven en Perú: Montesinos tramó el soborno de tres jueces electorales|url=https://www.ambito.com/mundo/peru/los-fantasmas-vuelven-montesinos-tramo-el-soborno-tres-jueces-electorales-n5209594|access-date=2021-12-21|website=Ambito}}{{Cite web|date=2021-06-26|title=Conspiraciones telefónicas |url=https://www.idl-reporteros.pe/conspiraciones-telefonicas/|access-date=2021-12-21|website=IDL Reporteros}}

The Naval Aviation Force {{in lang|es}}: (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.{{cite journal |author=International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) |author-link=International Institute for Strategic Studies |date=2021 |title=The Military Balance 2021 |journal=The Military Balance |language=en |volume=}}

Pisco – Minor base
Puno – On Lake Titicaca
San Juan de Marcona – Naval aviation base

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."La base de Chimbote", Caretas, 1985.
