List of current 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 .

As of August 2024, the Chilean Navy has more than 130 ships in service of various sizes and roles; four attack submarines , eight major surface combatants (frigates ) and more than ninety minor surface combatants (patrols ), some of which are only identified by their pennant number . These are followed by four amphibious ships with three support vessels that are identified only by their unofficial name, four survey vessels with two minor support vessels, one of which is identified only by its pennant number, eleven auxiliary ships and one training ship . Also included is a nominal ship, the Ironclad Huáscar , which is really just a ceremonial ship and historical relic .[ 2]
