Guardiamarina

The Guardiamarina Riquelme (LM-36) was a Tiger-class (Type 148) fast attack craft operated by the Chilean Navy. It was primarily utilized for coastal defense, patrol duties, and anti-surface warfare in Chile's southern waters.

Originally commissioned into the German Navy in 1973 as the Tarawa (S50), the vessel was acquired by Chile in 1997. It was renamed Guardiamarina Riquelme and underwent significant electronics and systems refits by the Chilean shipyard ASMAR. The vessel served reliably in the Southern Missile Flotilla, patrolling the rugged fjords of southern Chile, until its decommissioning in 2012.
