Project history: They were designed and laid down as minelayers in a 4-ship class, but during construction the design was modified towards strengthening of anti-submarine armament at the expense of abandoning from mines. Sister-ships Piedra Buena and Azopardo were completed in 1954-1957 under the changed design as anti-submarine frigates.
