Project history

Fast torpedo gunboats (torpedo cruisers). To the First World War beginning they have become outdated. After modernization Marqués de la Vitoria became one-funneled, María de Molina received two close arranged funnels and only Álvaro de Bazán kept an original two-funneled outline profile.

Ship protection

Only CT had 152mm sides.
