During the Mexican Revolution "Zaragoza" served under the constitutional government of President Francisco I. Madero and assisted in suppressing the revolt led by Félix Díaz. In April 1914, "Zaragoza" was at Tampico when United States troops landed in nearby Veracruz, but took no offensive action. In August 1914, after the Constitutionalist revolution led by Venustiano Carranza, "Zaragoza" was sent to the port of Coatzacoalcos. From there, later in the year, she sailed to Yucatán to take part in the suppression of the rebellion led by Benjamin Argumedo. In 1923-24, "Zaragoza" took part in Adolfo de la Huerta's failed uprising against the government of Álvaro Obregón.
