BAP Capitán Quiñones (CL-83)
- BAP Capitán Quiñones (CL-83)
BAP "Capitán Quiñones" (CL-83) was a "Crown Colony" class cruiser in service with the Peruvian Navy. It was completed for the Royal Navy in 1942 as HMS "Newfoundland" and, after being withdrawn from service, commissioned by the "Marina de Guerra del Perú" on December 30 1959. Renamed BAP "Almirante Grau" (CL-81), in honor of the Peruvian Admiral Miguel Grau, it arrived to its new homeport of Callao on January 31 1960.
As fleet flagship, the ship participated in several exercises, including the multinational UNITAS manoeuvres. In 1963, after the creation of the "Servicio de Aviación Naval" (Naval Aviation Service), the "Almirante Grau" started operating Bell 47G helicopters from its fantail. The ship was renamed "Capitán Quiñones" (CL-83) in 1973 after its former name was assigned to the recently acquired HNLMS "De Ruyter" of the "De Zeven Provinciën" class. As such it was passed to a reserve status on March 6 1980 and decommissioned on May 2 of the same year.
