BAP Apurimac
From Warlike
BAP Apurímac was the second steam frigate of the Peruvian Navy, built in England in 1855 along with the steam schooners Loa and Tumbes as a part of a major build-up of the Navy during the government of President José Rufino Echenique. A veteran of two wars and many internal conflicts, due to her age, she served as training ship in Callao port from 1873 until 17 January 1881, when she was scuttled along with the rest of the Peruvian Navy to prevent capture by Chilean troops who occupied the port the following day after the defeat of the Peruvian Army in the battles of San Juan and Miraflores.
