Project history: Former German minesweepers M139 and M158 of M1916 type. By the First World War end they remained incomplete, and completed in 1919 as self-propelled barges Helgoland and Grille; in 1922 they were sold to Norway and France respectively as Tonsberg I and Dinnard (later Dixmude). In 1932 they were bought by Colombia in France, received names Bogotá and Córdoba and armed. Boilers can use coal and fire wood. Ships arrived with French crews to Brazilian port Belen 24.2.1933. They were used as patrols and river gunboats.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: Córdoba in 1937 was stricken and 11.6.1937 sunk as target by destroyers Antioqoia and Caldas. Bogota was lost in 1946 as a result of collision.
