Project history: Two of seven Portuguese Lima class destroyers, built in the Great Britain and Portugal under Yarrow design. Still being on the stocks, two lead Portuguese-built ships were 27.3.1933 sold to Colombia at intermediary of British private concern as a backweight to two Peruvian Novik class destroyers, purchased the same year by Estonia. Crews of both Colombian ships were at first hired by the same firm from Englishmen. Ships arrived to Colombia 14.5.1934. Destroyers were designed on a basis of British destroyer Ambuscade from which differed by main artillery. Ships were arranged for minelaying. Machinery included 3 Yarrow boilers with lateral arrangement of fire chambers and economizers (28atm operating pressure) and Curtiss geared turbine sets with Parsons cruising turbines.
