Conversion Commission notes for War Use:
Convert to minesweepers or antisubmarine warfare trawlers. High Priority for wartime call-up to serve as coastal and ASW escorts. ~68 tons to receive Major Refit to ASW escort or minesweeper, adding DC racks, deck guns, radios, and Kodkod. As of 1941, forty-eight of the M1922-dated 110mm deck guns from the Temerario-class destroyers are retained in order to arm naval trawlers. (This will save seven tons from the reconstruction price.)

Presidente-class, Chilean Cargo Liner laid down 1938
Rising passenger traffic between North and South America, and competition with the Grace Line gave CSAV the idea of ordering a pair of fast, powerful, and prestigious cargo-liners in the late 1930s. These two vessels became the Chilean merchant marine's "ships of state". Presidente was scheduled on the Valparaiso to New York run, while Independencia sailed a schedule between Valparaiso, Atlantis, and Marseilles.

Conversion Commission notes for War Use:
This ship is virtually identical to the Rancagua-class tank landing ships built by ASMAR for the Chilean Navy, but lacks armament, expanded crew facilities, military electronics, and damage control equipment installed as standard on the Rancagua-class. In case of war, a Level 3 Major Refit costing 156 tons would be required to rework the vessel for military use. High priority for wartime call-up to serve as amphibious landing ship; Directemar and Navimag employs naval reservists as captain and senior officers.

Puerto Eden, Chilean Large Ferry laid down 1940
The MS Puerto Eden was laid down in 1940 as part of the Chilean government's program to further develop the southern regions of Aisen and Magallanes. Due to the distances involved, a ship was designed capable of serving as a ferry with overnight service. The ship has a stern ramp and two dock-level side doors used for loading and unloading trucks and vehicles.
