Super Dreadnought Battleship CNS Almirante Latorre pictured c1920...She was the first of a planned two-ship Class that would respond to earlier warship purchases by other South American countries. Construction began at Sir W G Armstrong Whitworth & Co Ltd Shipyards at Elswick, Newcastle-upon-Tyne soon after the ship was ordered in November 1911, and was approaching completion when it was bought by the Royal Navy for use in the First World War. Commissioned in September 1915, she served in the Grand Fleet as HMS Canada for the duration of the war and saw action during the Battle of Jutland...Chile repurchased Canada in 1920 and renamed her Almirante Latorre. she was designated as Chile's flagship..She underwent a thorough modernization in the United Kingdom in 1929–1931. In September 1931, crewmen aboard Almirante Latorre instigated a mutiny, which the majority of the Chilean fleet quickly joined. After divisions developed between the mutineers, the rebellion fell apart and the ships returned to government control. Almirante Latorre was placed in reserve for a time in the 1930s because of the Great Depression, but it was in good enough condition to receive interest from the United States after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Chilean government declined the overture and she spent most of the Second World War on patrol for Chile. Almirante Latorre was scrapped in Japan beginning in 1959.

Lead Ship, CNS Almirante Latorre pictured in the 20's....She was the first of a planned two ship Class. Construction began at Armstrong Whitworth Shipyards at Elswick Newcastle-upon-Tyne, soon after the ship was ordered in November 1911, and was approaching completion when it was bought by the RN for use in WWI..Commissioned in September 1915, she served in the Grand Fleet as HMS Canada for the duration of the war and saw action during the Battle of Jutland.
Chile repurchased Canada in 1920 and renamed her Almirante Latorre, she was designated as Chile's flagship, and frequently served as a presidential transport. She underwent a thorough modernization in the United Kingdom in 1929–1931. She was placed in reserve for a time in the 1930s because of the Great Depression, but it was in good enough condition to receive interest from the United States after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
