Шаблон:Infobox military installation Callao Naval Base (Шаблон:Lang-es) is the main naval base of the Peruvian Navy. Located north of the main port of Callao, it is also a high-security prison, where members of terrorist groups such as the Shining Path and the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA) are located. The base hosts a dockyard and naval aviation base, as we;; as the Naval Medical Center, which contains the U.S. Navy's Naval Medical Research Unit Six.[1]

A project to modernise the base started in the northern part of the facility on June 21, 2023.[1]

History

The naval base was first built in the 1930s as a levee and a naval arsenal.[2] In 1992, then presidential advisor Vladimiro Montesinos proposed the construction of a penitentiary centre in the base, where he himself was confined after he was extradited from Venezuela in June 2001.[3]
