BAP Mariátegui (FM-54)

BAP Mariátegui is the last out of four Carvajal-class frigates ordered by the Peruvian Navy in 1973. It was built by SIMA (Servicio Industrial de la Marina) at Callao under license from the Italian shipbuilder Cantieri Navali Riuniti. Shortage of funds and technical difficulties delayed her completion for several years, being finally commissioned in 1987. In 1998 her flight deck was extended to allow ASH-3D Sea King helicopters to land and refuel, even though they are too large to be accommodated in the ship's hangar.

gollark: All other Macron Macroners are FAKE MACRONERS.
gollark: I am the one true herald of Macron, actually?
gollark: Since x86 assembly is the logic.
gollark: No, it's x86 assembly to NAND gates.
gollark: The category of Macrons is equivalent to the homotopy category of the category with weak equivalences PSh(C)PSh(C) with the weak equivalences given by W=W = local isomorphisms. The converse is also true: for every left exact functor L:PSh(S)→PSh(S)L : PSh(S) \to PSh(S) (preserving finite limits) which is left adjoint to the inclusion of its image, there is a Grothendieck topology on SS such that the image of LL is the category of Macrons on SS with respect to that topology.
