Project history: Merchant vessels (mostly trawlers) converted to patrols by all parties of conflict.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: Araba owing to bad technical condition in February, 1937 was put to repair at Bilbao; 16.6.1937 she was scuttled at city fall, salvaged by Franco`s troops 19.7.1937 and after repair on SECN was commissioned by National fleet 1.11.1937 as Álava. Sometimes she was classed as auxiliary cruiser. Virgen de Begoña was former French patrol Cigale II (Gardon class). Early 1937 she was gained by Basque Government and enlisten by its fleet as armed vessel Iruña, but conversion was never completed, so she was registered as combat ship only nominally. 19.6.1937 Iruña was captured by Nationalists in dock at capture of Bilbao. She was towed off to El Ferrol where after conversion in August was commissioned by National fleet.
