The ''Antioquia'' class of destroyers consisted of two ships, and , used by the navy of Colombia, the ''Armada Nacional República de Colombia'', between 1933 and 1961. The two ships were built at the Lisbon Naval Arsenal, as part of for the Portuguese Navy. They were purchased by the navy of Colombia before completion, in 1933, in response to the Colombia–Peru War, 〔(Armada Nacional República de Colombia: ''Aniversario No.26 del ARC “Antioquia”''. )〕 with two further ships ordered by the Portuguese Navy to replace them. ''Antioquia'' and ''Caldas'' were originally named NRP ''Douro'' and NRP ''Tejo'', respectively. The design was by the British company Yarrow Shipbuilders, based on that of the Royal Navy's prototype destroyer . Two were built at the Yarrows shipyard in Clydebank, Scotland, and the remainder in Lisbon with Yarrow machinery. Both ships were refitted in the United States, at Mobile, Alabama, in 1954, when three guns were fitted, two forward and one aft. This had the effect of shifting their centres-of-gravity, resulting in poor handling in foul weather, which also over-stressed the hulls.〔(The HarpoonHQ database & encyclopedia web application: ''DD Douro class '' )〕 ''Antioquia'' was decommissioned on the 23 January 1961, and ''Caldas'' on the 3 March 1961, with both ships being scrapped. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antioquia-class destroyer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
