"Almirante Latorre", which was closer to completion than its sister, was bought in 1914 and commissioned into British service as HMS "Canada" in October 1915. The ship spent its wartime service with the Grand Fleet, seeing action in the Battle of Jutland. After the war, HMS "Canada" was put into reserve before being sold back to Chile in 1920 as "Almirante Latorre". The crew of the battleship instigated a naval mutiny in 1931. After several years of inactivity, the ship underwent a major refit in the United Kingdom in 1937, later allowing it to patrol Chile's coast during the Second World War. After a boiler room fire and a short stint as a prison ship, "Almirante" "Latorre" was scrapped in 1959. After "Almirante Cochrane" was purchased by the British in 1918, it was decided to convert the ship into an aircraft carrier. After numerous delays, "Almirante Cochrane" was commissioned into the Royal Navy as HMS "Eagle" in February 1924. It served in the Mediterranean Fleet and on the China Station in the inter-war period, and operated in the Atlantic and Mediterranean during the Second World War before being sunk in August 1942 during Operation Pedestal.
