The Bustamante class was a class of three destroyers of the Spanish Navy. They were built in Spain to a British design completing between 1914 and 1916. They served until 1930–1932. The Bustamante class saw little service, spent mostly in a training squadron and patrolling the coasts of Spain. Compared to contemporary foreign designs, the Bustamante class was considered outclassed, with poor armament and a lack of speed.
