Battleship
The Ship
Sold 1921 |
HMS Canada was a battleship, sometimes identified as a member of the Iron Duke class originally ordered by the government of Chile as Valparaiso. Before launching, the ship's name was changed in honour of Juan José Latorre Benavente. Incomplete at the outbreak of the First World War, she was purchased by the British government in September 1914, completed and re-named HMS Canada. After the war she was refitted and sold to Chile and served from 1921 as the Almirante Latorre. |
