Ship project history: For strengthening of its small Navy consisting of gunboats and armed vessels, Mexico in 1924 purchased in Brazil coast defence ship Deodoro, commissioned as Anahuac, however battle value of this hopelessly out-of-date ship was insignificant and in 1938 she was discarded.
Ship protection: Complete 1.68m deep belt was 350mm thick at the top and 150mm at the bottom amidships, tapering to 100mm at the ends, and there was 45mm sloping protective deck.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: No significant events.
