I thought I would show you photos of the Peruvian Navy. These pictures were taken at events at the Callao Naval Base between the years of 2007-2008.

Visible in the photo below are the cruiser Almirante Grau, 08 frigates, 06 corvettes, 06 submarines, 04 LST, support vessels, patrol craft and SIMA floating docks, etc.

In Peru it is customary to place the acronym BAP Barco de la Armada de Peru (ship Navy of Peru) preceding the name.

MR-600 changed for MR-700 (same radar as on Vikramaditya aircraft carrier and cruiser Kerch). This would mean slightly higher search range (500 km vs 450 against a high flying target)
