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.[Inference]
