Some Peruvian Navy vessels 1890 - 2020.

#1 Post by reytuerto »

Good evening, gentlemen.

Some peruvian vessels adquired/built since 1889.

The vessels of the Rio Nepeña class were built in the Navy´s slips at Chimbote (Perú´s main fishery harbour) in the early 1980s, from a Lurssen design. The class was specifically built for the Coastguard (the previous Coastguard vessels were ex-Navy ships). Shown with a RIHB in the stern rig, in the late 1990s or early 2000s.

Good afternoon, gentlemen:

The first fleet oiler of the Peruvian Navy was the ex-Norwegian Sjomand, renamed as BAP Pariñas, she was bought in 1932 to serve as support vessel for the recently acquired ex-Estonian destroyers. A rather small steam oil tanker, built in Britain. Pariñas was the main auxiliary of the fleet during the 1941 Ecuatorian-Peruvian war and also during most of the 1940s and 1950s.

Credits: HeuHen gave me (many years ago) a neat picture of the tanker, as Sjomand it was much better than any of the ship as Pariñas. And of course, I wouldn not be able to draw the vessel without the generous lessons of Colombamike (who tought me how to "read" a B & W photograph... even of a trunk hull vessel). Thanks to both of them.

Cheers!

Thanks Char! (I am eager to see the califications of the space destroyers. A compeltely new matter for me :D ).

The first ad hoc scientific vessel of Peru was BIC (Buque de Investigación Científica) Humboldt. Made by SIMA with German help in 1978, she was the first Peruvian ship to visit the Antartic continent, and for more than 25 years, was engaged in the polar summer campaign at Machu Pichu base, at the King George Island. With the incorporation of the newer, bigger and stronger Carrasco, Humboldt returned to the oceanographic research in home waters and now is currently asigned to Imarpe (Instituto del Mar) research organization.

Good morning, guys.

BAP Morales is a 50 tons Bollard pull tug, designed for support operations for the Navy divers. Is equiped with a descompression chamber and several facilities. Made by SIMA, she was launched in 2016 at Callao.

Cheers.

PS. I am rather confused by the flat hull directly over and forward the screw, because it seems "skeg-less". Is this type of stern common in tugs or is a misinterpretation of the drawing? Eagerly waiting for your comments. Thanks.

Good morning, guys.

A couple of riverine hospital ships in the Amazon basin:

Rio Morona was an indigenous design made in SIMA-Iquitos over the hull of a barge in the mid 1970s. Rio Yavari is a much modern design, the orignal prototype was made also in Iquitos with the help of SENER (Spain) and sucesive models were improved, specially in habitability. Cheers.
