The two '''Triumph class battleships''' (called ''Swiftsure'' class in many sources) were pre-dreadnoughts originally ordered for Chile, but purchased instead by Great Britain while under construction. ==Fire Control Systems== Details on this class are fairly sparse, as they were originally produced for Chile and their 10-in main battery made them such oddities in the Royal Navy that they were seemingly omitted from ''Handbook for Fire Control Instruments, 1914''. Their particulars very loosely resembled those of the [[Duncan Class Battleship (1901)|''Duncan'' class]].{{INF}} ===Rangefinders=== ===Evershed Bearing Indicators=== ===Local Control in Turrets=== ===Directors=== These ships never received directors for main or secondary batteries<ref>''Director Firing Handbook, 1917'', pp. 142-3.</ref>. ===Torpedo Control=== ===Transmitting Stations=== ===Dreyer Table=== These ships never received Dreyer tables<ref>''Handbook of Capt.
