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.
Service
Triumph served in China until 1915 and then moved to the Mediterranean.[3]
Loss
Triumph was torpedoed through her deployed anti-torpedo netting.[4]
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.[5]
