The Naval campaign of the War of the Pacific or Saltpeter war, was a naval campaign that took place from 1879 to 1884, involving Peru (as well as Bolivia), and Chile, undertaken in order to support land forces in the Atacama Desert. Although the conflict lasted until 1884, the primary naval engagements occurred between 1879 and 1880. Due to the rough terrain and few transport methods it was imperative to have control of the ports in order to have a good supply source in the region. It resulted in a successful campaign by Chile, and the success of their land campaigns eventually led to a Chilean victory, which cut off Bolivia's access to the coast.

  • La campaña naval de la guerra del Pacífico fueron los planes y operaciones hechas con el fin de alcanzar los objetivos de la guerra del Pacífico en el plano naval. Aunque los hechos más conocidos ocurrieron entre el 5 de abril (declaración de guerra de Chile a Perú y Bolivia) y el 8 de octubre de 1879 (captura del último blindado peruano), y que dieron a Chile el control de las costas peruanas y bolivianas, las operaciones continuaron para impedir el desembarco, aprovisionamiento y la importación de armas por el enemigo y la protección de las propias.
