OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Almirante Latorre class[N 1] consisted of two battleships (Spanish: acorazados) designed by the British company Armstrong Whitworth for the Chilean Navy. Only one, Almirante Latorre, was finished as a battleship; the other, Almirante Cochrane, was converted to an aircraft carrier. They were sold to the Royal Navy prior to completion and renamed Canada and Eagle. Under their Chilean names, they honored the Admirals (Almirantes) Juan Jos Latorre and Thomas Cochrane. They took their British names from the dominion and a traditional ship name in the Royal Navy.At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, Chile often instigated or was drawn into naval competition with neighbor Argentina. When Argentina responded to Brazil's order for two dreadnoughts with two of its own, Chile felt that it also needed to respond.
