Why does it say 'Peruvian-Chilean fleet', if only a Chilean ship fought the battle? As far as I can understand, Peru declared war to Spain on Jan 14, 1866, way after the battle. So, there cannot be "Peruvian fleet". Besides, how can combined fleet consist of a single ship? Verdi1 20:22, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Town in Chile?

An anon editor commented that Papudo is also the name of a town in Chile. I have not idea if it is notable or not. Valentinian (talk) 11:56, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
