Sumario:The present work proposes to explore the transformations that the South Sea Navy underwent since its constitution and up to the "new plant" reforms applied in the mid 1710s, the latter being considered a point of arrival rather than an attempt to create a new sea force in the Peruvian viceroyalty. The proposed route focuses on the context of the first reforms implemented by Philip V and on the participation within the navy of officers of northern origin (mostly from Guipuzcoa and Biscay), who were part of the new elite that surrounded the first Bourbon.
