History: In july 1936, C2 was fighting on the Republican side of the Spanish Civil War. She received instructions to patrol outside Cueta to deny the cruiser Almirante Cervera access to the harbor. C2 then spent her time escorting merchant vessels into the harbor before sailing to France to undergo a refit from 1937 to 1939. She was surrendered to the Nationalists during a pro-Franco mutiny in Cartagena ion July 3, 1939 and withdrew to Palma where she was commissioned into the Nationalist fleet.
