Chapters: Churruca Class Destroyer, Spanish Destroyer Jos Luis Dez, Spanish Destroyer Lepanto, Spanish Destroyer Snchez Barciztegui, Spanish Destroyer Almirante Ferrndiz. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Churruca was a Spanish destroyer class built for the Spanish Navy based on a British design. Sixteen ships were built, two sold to Argentina.

At the start of the Spanish Civil War, the class served on the government side, and blockaded the Gibraltar Strait. Class members saw some action.
