BAP Abtao (SS-42) was a Abtao-class submarine of the Peruvian Navy.

The submarine was built by the Electric Boat Company at Groton, Connecticut and delivered on 1 March 1954.[2] She initially served as Tiburón ("Shark"), but was renamed Abtao in April 1957. Originally assigned pennant number 5, in 1959 she was designated SS-2, then renumbered SS-42 in 1960.

The submarine was decommissioned in 1998 and became a museum ship in 2004.[1]
