Chilean corvette General Baquedano

General Baquedano was a corvette built by Armstrong Whitworth for the Chilean Navy, launched on 5 July 1898 and commissioned on 22 August 1899. She was the first Chilean training ship ordered specifically for that purpose, replacing the old Abtao and Pilcomayo, and carried a crew of 333 with a displacement of 2,500 tonnes and a speed of 13.75 knots. She was refitted at Talcahuano from 1922 to 1926 and continued as a training ship until 1935, with her infobox giving a decommissioning date of 15 December 1959. She was nicknamed La chancha, the sow, and the novelist Francisco Coloane made her the setting of his book El ultimo grumete de la Baquedano, about the last deckboy of the Baquedano.
