Paraguayan naval activity in the Chaco War highlights how vessels, crews, and support assets sustained frontline operations through transport, intelligence, aviation, and logistical innovations.

Naval Operations in the Chaco War is the first English language account of the Paraguayan Navy's operations that aided the war effort in the Chaco War. All available ships, not only the Navy's warships, but also those from the civilian sector that were commissioned and crewed by naval officers to transport troops, weapons, ammunition, supplies, medical supplies, and even livestock to the front lines.

The volume also includes other important missions carried out by the Navy, such as naval intelligence, which was responsible for intercepting Bolivian encrypted messages; Naval Aviation, with its patrol missions in the Paraguay River area and in the northern sector, with its day and night reconnaissance and bombing missions; and also, officers, non-commissioned officers, and naval troops who fought on the front lines.

It also includes a detailed account of the fantastic production of the War and Navy Arsenals and the exploration and drilling of water wells, a vital element in the Chaco.

Naval Operations in the Chaco War is richly illustrated throughout with original photographs and includes the @War series' specially commissioned colour artworks.
