# List of Peruvian Navy ships

List of ships of the Peruvian Navy comprising almost every Peruvian warship commissioned after 1840.

## Vessels acquired in the 1840s and 1850s

President Castilla sought to expand and the Peruvian Navy and equip it well. His naval policy was to construct two ships for each one Chile built, and he went on to turn the Peruvian Navy into the most powerful in South America. He acquired the frigates Mercedes, Guisse, Gamarra, Amazonas, and Apurimac and the schooners Tumbes and Loa. He also built the naval ports of Paita and Bellavista. Castilla also acquired the first steam-powered warship of any South American country and named her Rimac. To better educate the officers of these new ships, he sent them to study with the various navies of European nations. For the defense of the Amazon, Castilla began to develop an Amazonian fleet with the purchase of the ships Morona, Pastaza, Napo, and Putumayo.
