BAP Islay Type 209/1100
BAP Islay (SS-35) is one of two Type 209/1100 submarines ordered by the Peruvian Navy on 24 June 1970. She was built by the German shipbuilder Howaldtswerke Deutsche Werft AG at its shipyard in Kiel. She is named after the Battle of Islay which took place between naval forces of Peru and Chile on 12 January 1838. Following sea trials in the North Sea, she arrived to its homeport of Callao in 1974. After almost a decade in service she was overhauled in Kiel in 1983 for further use.
In 2016, Servicios de la Marina (SIMA) Peru signed contracts with ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) and Elbit Systems to upgrade the MGP’s four Angamos class submarines. The two units known as the Islay class, Islay (S35) and Arica (S36), will not be covered under this contract having completed an upgrade package in 2013. The four Angamos class vessels were to remain in service until the 2030 timeframe while the older Islay class is expected to be decommissioned by 2024.
