List of active ships of the Chilean Navy

This is a list of active ships of the Chilean Navy, which is one of the three branches of the Chilean Armed Forces. The Chilean Navy's mission is to provide the Chilean State with naval power and an effective maritime service, to safeguard sovereignty and territorial integrity, maintain the security of the nation and support national interests when necessary and in any place required.[1]

To fulfil its mission, the Chilean Navy has more than 130 commissioned ships of various sizes and roles; four attack submarines, eight major surface combatants (frigates), more than ninety minor surface combatants (patrols), four amphibious ships, three survey vessels, eleven auxiliary ships, one training ship and several minor support vessels of various roles who are only identified by their unofficial name or their pennant number. Also included is a nominal ship, the Ironclad Huáscar, which is really just a ceremonial ship and historical relic.[2]
