Peruvian Navy

Unread post by Brian James »

Peruvian Navy Makassar-Class LPD BAP Pisco pictured during commissioning on June 6th 2018.
The design of the Pisco was carried out by South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in collaboration with Peru's state owned shipyard, SIMA.The class originally was developed in the early-2000s for the Indonesian Navy.
Peru paid a contract of $60 million to construct the Pisco, constructed in Peru by SIMA with the management oversight cooperation from Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering.
Pisco's design includes accommodation of 157 crew members and up to 400 marines. The well deck can handle two 23-meter Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel while an additional cargo deck in the ship can hold up to 14 LAV II vehicles,which Peru had recently acquired from Canada in mid-2016. The flight deck of the Pisco has the capability to hold two Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King helicopters of the Peruvian Naval Aviation while an incorporated hanger can store an additional helicopter.The ship uses a roll-on/roll-off system, and can reportedly transport 450 troops for up to 30 days.

Navy Lookout

Last serving gun cruiser in the world towed away for scrap. Contemporary of HMS Belfast, laid down 1939 for NL kon marine but not completed until after the war named HNLMS De Ruyter. Sold to Peru in 1973. Decommissioned 2017. Plan to preserve her as a museum ship unsuccessful.

Mi mañana iba muy bien hasta que he visto partir al ex BAP almirante Grau, otrora buque insignia de la Armada, partir en su último zarpe, rumbo al desguace.

Translated from Spanish
My morning was going very well until I saw the former BAP Admiral Grau leave, once the flagship of the Navy, leave on its last sail, heading for scrapping.
