BAP Almirante Guise was a destroyer in service with the Peruvian Navy from 1933 to 1954. She was a rebuilt type of the Russian Izyaslav class. Originally named Avtroil while in Russian service, she was later renamed Lennuk. The vessel was built at Chantiers et Ateliers Augustin Normand in Le Havre.
Service history
Following the collapse of the Russian Empire and the intervention into the Russian Civil War by the Allies, Avtroil was captured by British cruisers and destroyers in the Baltic in December 1918. The ship was transferred to Estonia, from whom she was purchased by the Peruvian Navy in 1933. The ship was renamed Almirante Guise and served with the Peruvian navy until she was finally scrapped in 1954.
