Third Battle of Topolobampo : ウィキペディア英語版 | Third Battle of Topolobampo
The Third Battle of Topolobampo was a single ship action during the Mexican Revolution. At the end of March 1914, a Constitutionalist gunboat attempted to break the blockade of Topolobampo, Sinaloa after failing in the First and Second Battles of Topolobampo. Constitutionalist warship, ''Tampico'', was sunk in a battle lasting a few hours by a Huertista gunboat. ==Background==
After two small bloodless engagements off Topolobampo within a few weeks earlier, Lieutenant Hilario Malpica was promoted to the rank of captain by General Álvaro Obregón, a future president of Mexico. Despite the promotion, Captain Malpica still had the problem of fighting two gunboats, just outside Topolobampo's harbor bar. The ''Morelos'' and ''Guerrero'', under Captain Navio Torres on ''Guerrero'', were conducting a naval blockade of the port. The ''Guerrero'' had blockaded Topolobampo continually since March 2, 1914. ''Morelos'' arrived a couple days after ''Guerrero'' and occasionally left the blockade for provisioning and coal. On March 30, ''Morelos'' left again for supplies, leaving ''Guerrero'' alone and outside the bar. This gave Captain Malpica a chance to finally lift the blockade of his home port.
