H.M.S. Triumph was originally built for Chile as Libertad, and purchased along with sister Swiftsure on 3 December, 1903.[8] As a consequence, she did not resemble contemporary British ships.
Service
Recommissioned at Sheerness on 11 April, 1913.[9]
Recommissioned 28 August 1913 with Captain Philip Streatfeild.[10]
Triumph served in China until 1915 and then moved to the Mediterranean.[11]
Loss
Triumph was torpedoed through her deployed anti-torpedo netting,[12] and despite being underway in a circle.[13] Chelmer removed nearly her entire crew in twenty minutes alongside.[14]
Alterations
In 1913 it was approved that Triumph receive a Mark III Dumaresq, Pattern 760. Having been supplied with the Mark III variant, she was to surrender a Mark I instrument.[15]
