history

The Peruvian Navy was officially established in October 1821. Jorge Martin Guise was the first fleet manager . The first Peruvian warship was the Sacramento . During the Saltpeter War (1879–1884) against Chile, the Peruvian Navy - in contrast to the army - occasionally achieved some spectacular victories at sea. The decisive factor here was the role of the British-built Huascar tank monitor , which was the most modern ship in the conflict, but fell into Chilean hands in 1879.

Mar peruano, escenario milenario de bronceados marineros que en la esencia de tu sal, nos legaron para siempre aquel dominio que preserva en su destino nuestra Armada Nacional.

La Gloriosa Marina Peruana conserva la llama de la tradición, pues al ir patrullando sus aguas, tarea sagrada, eterna misión ... Miguel Grau continua presente sobre el puente del “Huascar” sin par El centauro .. Nobleza y Acero ¡mejor marinero jamás tuvo el mar!

En los hombres que guardan memoria acciones de gloria, cual tuvo Noel, si les toca su hora, en la historia sabrán ser sublimes, así como él ... La marina por ellos existe y por ellos ha de perdurar ... cual los firmes colors que viste ¡el oro del sol y el azul de su mar!
