Originally built for Chile as Constitucion, she was purchased along with sister Triumph on 3 December, 1903.[2] As a consequence, she did not resemble contemporary British ships.

Service

Swiftsure served in the East Indies until 1915 and then moved to the Mediterranean.[3]

Alterations

In 1918, Swiftsure was converted to a blockship at Chatham Royal Dockyard, but was never used as such.[4]
