Chilean tug Colo Colo (1931) explained

Colo Colo is a historic tugboat of the Chilean Navy built in Scotland for Chile in 1931. She was a steamship until she was reconditioned in 1971, at which time she was re-engined as a motor vessel. She spent her service career in southern Chile.

During the Chilean naval mutiny of 1931 she chased the Chilean submarine Rucumilla near the Quiriquina Island.[1]

In 1987 she was withdrawn from service and preserved at the Chilean Navy Museum at Punta Arenas.
