Capitan O'Brien-class submarine (1928)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Capitan O'Brien class were three submarines built for the Chilean Navy in the late 1920s. Designed and built in the United Kingdom, they were a modified design of the contemporary British Odin-class submarines. The lead boat, Capitan O'Brien, was launched on 2 October 1928 and the other two on 15 January 1929. All three submarines entered service in 1929. The three vessels remained in service until being discarded in 1957–1958.
