The PR-72P class are a series of French-designed corvettes in service with the Peruvian Navy. Six units were ordered in 1976 by the Peruvian Navy from the Société Française de Construction Navale (SFCN). Subsequently, three of them were built by the company's own Villeneuve-la-Garenne shipyard, and the rest subcontracted to LorientNaval Dockyard. Pennant numbers were originally P-101 to P-106, but were later modified to CM-21 to CM-26, where CM stands for corbeta misilera, Spanish for guided missilecorvette.
In 1998 the Peruvian Navy signed a contract with MTU to re-engine three PR-72P-class corvettes. The other units are expected to be similarly modified in the near future.
