Oficial de Marina (Type 23 Frigate)
The Armada de Chile operates Type 23 frigates acquired from the United Kingdom (ex-HMS Marlborough as Almirante Lynch, ex-HMS Norfolk as Almirante Cochrane), giving it one of the most capable surface combatant forces in South America. The Armada has significant operational responsibilities: Chile has the longest coastline in South America relative to population, controls the Drake Passage (the southern sea route between the Pacific and Atlantic), and has Antarctic territorial claims. A naval career in Chile involves genuine operational demands — the Drake Passage is not a benign operating environment. Naval officer training is at the Escuela Naval Arturo Prat in Valparaíso.
