Spanish ironclad Vitoria

Vitoria was an iron-hulled Spanish Navy armored frigate commissioned in 1868. She took part on the rebel side in the Glorious Revolution of 1868. She participated on both sides during the Cantonal Rebellion of 1873–1874, first on the side of the Canton of Cartagena and then, after her crew surrendered to neutral warships, on the side of the central government of the First Spanish Republic. During the rebellion, she played a major role on the central government side in the Battle of Portmán in 1873. Vitoria bombarded rebel towns in northern Spain in 1875 during the Third Carlist War. She was reconstructed in the late 1890s and reclassified as a coast defense ship, serving as such during the Spanish-American War in 1898. She was hulked in 1903 and thereafter hosted training activities until 1907. She was decommissioned in 1908 and stricken and scrapped in 1912.

Vitoria was named after the Battle of Vitoria, a victory by a British, Portuguese and Spanish army against French forces on 21 June 1813 during the Napoleonic Wars. After the accession of King Amadeo I on 30 December 1871, she was renamed Victoria, but she reverted to her original name Vitoria when he abdicated in February 1873.
