Project history: In early 1911 Chilean Navy ordered to S. White a class of six large and strongly armed
destroyers. Ships were laid down in 1911-1913. For that moment they were the strongest
destroyers in the world, in twice exceeding standard British
destroyers on armament. On construction they corresponded to standards of
Royal Navy. On 6hr trials Almirante Lynch has shown 31.8kts, Almirante Condell 33.4kts.
Ships differed by magnificent furnish of officer cabins and bad conditions of habitability of
sailors.
Almirante Williams Robellado, Almirante Goni, Almirante Simpson and Almirante Riveros
in beginning of war were requisitioned by British Government and commissioned by Royal avy as Botha, Broke, Faulknor and Tipperary. Latter was lost 31.5.1916 during Jutland battle, remaining
ships in May, 1920 were returned to Chile and received names Almirante Williams, Almirante Uribe and Almirante Riveros. Because of strong deterioration they
were stricken in 1933.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: No significant events.
