Sagittario (pennant number F 565) is the second ship of the Lupo-class frigates of the Italian Navy. She was sold to the Peruvian Navy in the 2000s and renamed Quiñones (with the pennant number FM-58). It is named after José Quiñones Gonzales, a Peruvian pilot who was a hero of the Ecuadorian–Peruvian War who sacrificed himself to destroy an enemy position.
