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

Triumph served in China until 1915 and then moved to the Mediterranean.[3]
Loss
Triumph was torpedoed through her deployed anti-torpedo netting.[4]
