Noticias de la Armada de Chile

No me acuerdo en que fuente leí que una de las ventajas de las fragatas australianas traidas a la Escuadra era que conservaban la capacidad de lanzar SM-1 además del SM-2 (con esto del ejercicio, de ser efectivo, se confirmaría), y que eso permitía ir combinando munición con el stock que queda.



Sin el radar huevo WM-22 la Indómita pierde capacidades y la personalidad de su diseño.

Opinión personal.

Sailing with the Chilean Armada

Chilean Armada

A/SLt Damian McCracken — Recently, a longstanding exchange has resumed after it was paused during the pandemic; several Naval Warfare Officer (NWO) students at HMCS Venture have had the opportunity to sail with the Chilean Armada.
Earlier this year, I was lucky to be on one of these exchanges where, for three weeks, I learned as much as I could from the Chilean sailors and officers.
I arrived at Punta Arenas, at the southernmost tip of South America, with few expectations. I hoped to improve my coastal navigation and general watchkeeping skills since the area was considered geographically challenging. I learned a lot in this regard, but the most significant benefit of my trip for me may have been the exposure to a navy that is both very similar to and different from ours.
The Chilean Armada, like the Royal Canadian Navy, has strong British roots. Many of their traditions descend from the Royal Navy, and their shipboard life is quite similar to ours. However, the overall organization of the Armada is quite different. They fulfill the role of the Navy and the Coast Guard; sovereignty, hydrographic surveys, Search and Rescue, and even the maintenance of aids to navigation are all responsibilities of the Armada.
Their size reflects this broad jurisdiction, as the Armada has over 25,000 personnel. Many of their members are posted long-term to remote bases, which have particular functions. For example, I visited a naval base on Isla Dawson, which existed primarily to dispose of munitions. Over 100 personnel lived there full-time with their families. It takes consistent resupplies from ships in the Naval Zone to keep these bases running.
Chile has built many of its ships but has also procured many of them internationally. In Punta Arenas, I encountered an icebreaker from Canada, a large tug from India, and a missile boat from Israel. I noticed that each crew had adapted well to the different vessels. Boat launching, the bridge layout and technology, maneuvering, and living spaces differed between ships.
The Gulf Islands are a perfect training area for navigation, and the Tierra Del Fuego Archipelago easily matches them with its many inlets and channels. While many elements of watchkeeping and navigation were the same as ours, their use of paper charts was impressive. The Chilean Armada indeed uses electronic charts, but only as a backup. There is less room for error when fixing on paper; inaccuracies caused by slow work or poor fixing points are more pronounced without a computer, and they learn to trust their math and eyes to confirm the ship’s position. For an NWO student at Venture, these were valuable lessons to learn early in one’s career.
The sailors and officers were both fantastic hosts and professional mariners. Not only were they hard-working and competent, but they were enthusiastic about showing me their work. Almost all officers join through their Naval Academy, where they spend four years earning the equivalent of an academic degree but specific to the naval realm. As a result, most of the junior officers I met were between 22 and 23 years old and already working toward their watchkeeping tickets.
I think the resumption of this exchange is excellent for students at HMCS Venture. The experience of working alongside another navy in a different part of the world has been as valuable as any of the training I have received so far.

 

Chile, canadienses equiparán submarinos clase Scorpene​


febrero 16, 2023


Chile, canadienses equiparán submarinos clase Scorpene. Armada de Chile firma contrato con la Corporación Comercial Canadiense para asistencia de dos submarinos clase Scorpene.





Chile submarinos Scorpene​


Corporación Comercial Canadiense (CCC) informó que ha firmado un contrato con la Armada de Chile para el suministro de Navegación Táctica de Buceo de OSI Maritime Systems (OSI). (TDNS) para dos submarinos clase Scorpene.


Este contrato es el segundo realizado de gobierno a gobierno (G2G) entre CCC y la Armada de Chile para soluciones submarinas avanzadas ofrecidas por OSI.


El primer de ellos, firmado en 2020, proporcionó mejoras a la capacidad de navegación de dos submarinos de la clase THOMPSON de la Armada de Chile.


Las soluciones OSI se implementan en marinas de 24 países, incluso en submarinos de Suecia, Reino Unido, Australia, Canadá, Países Bajos, Indonesia, Sudáfrica y Brasil.



Con sede en Burnaby, BC, OSI también desarrolla y ofrece sistemas de puentes integrados para buques de guerra y sistemas C2 para embarcaciones pequeñas. Este contrato G2G más reciente con la Armada de Chile es una parte fundamental de la estrategia de penetración de mercado de OSI para Chile, que fue posible gracias al apoyo de CCC.


Los submarinos de la clase Scorpène son una familia de submarinos de ataque diésel-eléctricos diseñados por el astillero francés Naval Group (anteriormente conocido como DCNS) en cooperación con el astillero español Navantia.


Detalles técnicos​


Los submarinos de la clase Scorpène tienen una velocidad máxima de 20 nudos (37 km/h; 23 mph) cuando están sumergidos y de 12 nudos (22 km/h; 14 mph) cuando están en la superficie.


Tienen un alcance de 6.500 millas náuticas (12.000 km) a una velocidad de 8 nudos (15 km / h; 9,2 mph) cuando están en la superficie, y un alcance de 550 millas náuticas (1.020 km; 630 mi) a una velocidad de 5 nudos (9,3 km / h; 5,8 mph) cuando está sumergido. Los submarinos tienen una autonomía de hasta 50 días, o 50 días más 21 días adicionales cuando se utiliza el sistema AIP.
