HMS Canada (1913) was a battleship, originally ordered by the Chilean Navy as the Almirante Latorre. She was launched in 1913, but purchased by the British government in 1914 after the outbreak of the First World War.
Commissioned 15 October 1915.
HMS Canada was transferred to the 1st Battle Squadron on 12 June 1916. In 1917–18, she was fitted with better rangefinders and range dials, and two of the aft 6-inch secondary guns were removed after they suffered blast damage from the middle 14-inch turret. In the latter year, flying-off platforms for aircraft were added atop the superfiring turrets fore and aft. Canada was put into the reserve fleet in March 1919
Participated at the Battle of Jutland fought between 31 May and 1 June 1916. The battle involved 249 warships of the British and German Navies, and, in terms of combined tonnage of vessels engaged, was the largest naval battle in history.
Participated at the Second Battle of Heligoland Bight on 17 November 1917 near the island of Heligoland near the main German naval base at Wilhelmshaven.
