Two modified ships were exported to the Colombian Navy. These vessels were general purpose surface combatants.
Design
These were general purpose ships with strong anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare armament. They were re-fitted in the 1960s and re-armed with Saab Rb 08 anti-ship missiles (a missile derivative of the Nord Aviation CT20 drone). The Colombian ships had a more anti-surface focused armament.
