The Almirante Lynch-class was a pair of two torpedo gunboats, Almirante Lynch and Almirante Condell, ordered for the Chilean Navy in the late 1880s.

Acquisition[edit]

After the War of the Pacific, the Chilean Navy went through a process of modernization and renewal of the fleet. The government of Chilean President José Manuel Balmaceda (1886–1891) promoted a naval plan for this purpose,^[1] aware of the need to have a respectable navy in the face of possible conflicts with Peru or Argentina.^[2] By law of 22 August 1887,^[2] Balmaceda ordered the construction in France^{[Note 1]} and the England of new vessels to swell the fleet. In England, the two Almirante Lynch-class torpedo gunboats were ordered to be built at the Laird Brothers shipyard.^[1] All these naval acquisitions had been made through a special commission headed by Admiral Juan José Latorre.^[1]
