The 25,000-person navy, including 5,200 marines, is directed by Admiral Rodolfo Codina. Admiral is the rank, or part of the name of the ranks of the highest Naval officers Of the fleet of 66 surface vessels (soon to be increased to seventy-four), seven are major combatant ships and they are based in Valparaíso. Valparaíso (literally in Spanish: Valle Paraíso (Paradise Valley and also called "Valpo" locally is a major city in Chile The navy operates its own aircraft for transport and patrol; there are no fighter or bomber aircraft. The Navy also operates four submarines and a tender ship to support them, all based in Talcahuano.
The Chilean Navy’s most important asset is the 22,000 men and women that develop, maintain and operate the naval and maritime resources and land-based support installations.
The men and women who comprise the Chilean Navy all share a set of clearly recognizable traits, that is, their commitment to serving their country, their values, their devotion to tradition and family principles, as well as a high level of professionalism. Apart from being responsible for defending the nation’s sovereignty and its territory, the Chilean Navy is also involved in serving the public and supporting the country’s citizens by means of assignments that have a direct effect upon Chile’s development.
The Naval ships permit the integration of Chile’s Pacific and Southern island regions, thus integrating its disjointed geography and acting as a binding agent for Chile’s tri-continental features. The transport of passengers, especially during the school year or in cases of emergency, together with the supply of provisions and fuel, are of key importance to the inhabitants of these insular zones.
The Institution regularly carries out civil operations whereby Navy professionals provide social assistance and health care to the civilian population, and provide support in cases of natural catastrophe.
It also undertakes preventative education campaigns for Chile’s population on issues that include security on beaches and seaside resorts and measures to be taken in the case of a tsunami.
The most important naval bases and supply depots are (from north to south): Iquique, Easter Island, Valparaíso, Talcahuano, Puerto Montt, Punta Arenas, and Puerto Williams, and Base General Bernardo O’Higgins Riquelme in Antarctica, both in the Atlantic Ocean. Iquique (iˈkike is a city in northern Chile, capital of Tarapacá Region, on the Pacific coast, west of the Atacama Desert and the Valparaíso (literally in Spanish: Valle Paraíso (Paradise Valley and also called "Valpo" locally is a major city in Chile Talcahuano is a Municipality and port city in the Bio-Bio Region of Chile.

History
The beginnings of the Chilean Navy date back to 1817. The HK33 is a 556 mm Assault rifle developed in the 1960s by West German armament manufacturer Heckler & Koch GmbH (H&K primarily for M16 (more formally United States Rifle II Caliber 556 mm M16) is the U M203 is a single shot 40 mm Grenade launcher that attaches to the M16 Assault rifle or the M4 Carbine used by the Military The M60 (formally the United States Machine Gun Caliber 762 mm M60) is a family of American General purpose machine guns firing 7 The M82 (also more recently known as the M107) is a heavy SASR (Special Application Scoped Rifle developed by the American Barrett Firearms Company The MP5 is a 9 mm Submachine gun of German design developed in the 1960s by a team of engineers from the West German arms manufacturer The MGL (Multiple Grenade Launcher is a lightweight 40 mm semi-automatic 6-shot Grenade launcher developed and manufactured in South Africa by the The Mk 19 Grenade Launcher is a belt-fed automatic 40 mm Grenade launcher or grenade machine gun that entered U Design The M252 system weighs 91 lb (41 kg completely assembled and is composed of the M253 Cannon (35 lb 16 kg M177 Mount (27 lb 12 kg M3A1 Baseplate (29 lb 13 kg and the The M-71 is a 155 mm 39 calibre towed howitzer manufactured by Soltam, Israel.

Bernardo O'Higgins Riquelme ( August 20, 1778 &ndash October 24, 1842) South American independence leader was one of the commanders
This led to the development of Chile’s Naval Power, and the first legal resolutions outlining the organization of the institution were created. Chile’s First National Fleet and the Academy for Young Midshipmen (predecessor of the current Naval Academy) were founded, as were the Marine Corps and the Supply Commissary.
The Scot Thomas Cochrane was hired by O'Higgins to be the first commander of the Chilean Navy, whom in turn hired an all-anglophone officer corps and midshipmen crew (British, Irish and United States' seamen). The Scots people ( Scots Gaelic: Albannaich) are a Nation and an Ethnic group indigenous to Scotland. Admiral Lord Sir Thomas Alexander Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald, Marquês do Maranhão GCB, RN (14 December An Anglophone (or anglophone) is someone who speaks the English language. He was key in the war against loyalist Peru. Later he took control of the fortresses of Valdivia, but failed in his attempt to conquer Chiloe Island. CorralFortJPG|thumb|right|250px|General view of the fort in Corral]]The Fort System of Valdivia are a series of Spanish colonial fortifications at Corral Bay, Chiloé Island ( Spanish: "Isla de Chiloé" also known as' Isla Grande de Chiloé "Greater Island of Chiloé", is the largest island
The Chilean Navy’s lifelong allegiance to its country has been shaped throughout the years by notable men who, when necessary, have been ready to sacrifice their lives.
The most outstanding example of this commitment is that of Commander Arturo Prat, whose name went down in history for the exceptional heroism he demonstrated at the Naval Action at Iquique, on 21 May 1879, during the War against Peru and Bolivia (War of the Pacific). Agustín Arturo Prat Chacón ( April 3, 1848, near Ninhue - May 21, 1879, Iquique, Peru) was a Chilean The Battle of Iquique took place on May 21, 1879 during the War of the Pacific between Chile and Peru.

Year 1879 ( MDCCCLXXIX) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common The War of the Pacific, sometimes called the Saltpeter War in reference to its original cause was fought between Chile and the joint forces of Bolivia
Prat, while in charge of the fragile corvette Esmeralda, fought to the end with the imposing Peruvian ironclad Huascar, despite the inferiority of his own forces. Rather than surrender to the enemy, he valiantly gave his life alongside his crew.
Prat’s act of bravery is commemorated every year on 21 May, the only national holiday in Chile to recall a military feat. On that day, the country pays tribute to the courage shown by Prat and his men, whose deeds led to victory in this war.
Nevertheless, throughout Chile’s naval history, other outstanding individuals and great deeds have contributed to making the Institution that it is today.
The Chilean Navy has tended to be a highly professional force which has regularly purchased modern warships from Britain, consistent with its lifelong relationship with the United Kingdom.
