Chilean corvette General Baquedano (1898)

General Baquedano was the first training ship of the Chilean Navy ordered specifically for this purpose. She replaced in this function the old CHILEAN CORVETTE Abtao and PERUVIAN CORVETTE Pilcomayo.

From 1922 to 1926 she was refitted in Talcahuano. She continued to serve as training ship until 1935.
