''Lepanto'' saw a lot of action in during the Spanish Civil War. At the start of the hostilities she was involved in the blockade of the Gibraltar Strait to prevent the rebel transport of troops from Spanish Morocco to southern Spain. In the course of these operations she was damaged by rebel aircraft on 5 August 1936, a couple of hours before the convoy known as ''Convoy de la victoria'' successfully broke the Republican blockade. In September she joined the squadron which sailed to the Bay of Biscay in support of Republican forces isolated on the northern front. For most of 1937 the destroyer was on convoy duty. While involved in one of these missions, ''Lepanto'' took part of the Battle of Cape Cherchell. At the Battle of Cape Palos, ''Lepanto'' together with and , broke away from escorting the cruiser and fired three torpedoes at the Nationalist heavy cruiser . Since ''Lepanto'' was likely responsible for the fatal hit in the forward magazine that sank the opposing cruiser, she was awarded the ''Distintivo de Madrid'' along with other loyalist vessels.〔 〕 On 5 March 1939, their crews hoping to avoid execution, ''Lepanto'' fled Cartagena with the Republican squadron bound for Bizerte, Tunisia, arriving on 11 March. The next day, Commander of the Fleet Miguel Buiza asked for political asylum and the ships were requisitioned by the French authorities and left in the custody by a few crewmen, the rest being held in a prison camp at Meheri Zabbens. Later the rebel transports ''Mallorca'' and ''Marqués de Comillas'' arrived 31 March 1939 with new crews to take over the ships.
