Torpedo boats in the War of the Pacific
The introduction of fast torpedo boats in the late 19th century was a serious concern to navies of an era that saw a number of innovations in naval warfare, including the first torpedo boats, which carried spar torpedoes, steam propulsion and steel ships.
Clements Robert Markham, later president of the Royal Geographical Society, an English eye witness of the War of the Pacific stated:
:''The value of fast torpedo boats in maintaining a blockade cannot be over-estimated. They are not only the "eyes" but the "legs" of a squadron. Not only are they of use in preventing the escape of any of the enemy's ships, but they also afford protection to their own fleet, giving timely notice of approaching danger at night by a prearranged system of flashing lights, and in the daytime by their great speed. The thoroughness of the blockade of Callao was undoubtedly due, in a great measure, to the Chilean torpedo boats''.〔(Clements Robert Markham, ''The war between Peru and Chile, 1879-1882'' )〕
==Chilean torpedo boats==
With the exception of ''Vedette'', all boat names are of Mapudungun procedence.
