The Almirante Condell was a destroyer which served with the Chilean Navy through World War I and World War II. She was the second ship in the Chilean Navy to bear this name.
The Chilean Navy ordered six ships from J. Samuel White in 1911. These destroyers were larger and more powerful that contemporary British destroyers. The Condell was built by the United Kingdom as part of a six ship Almirante Lynch class of destroyers, of which only two ships were delivered before the outbreak of war and served in the Chilean Navy until 1945.
She was named after Admiral Carlos Condell, Chilean sailor, hero of the War of the Pacific.
