Almirante Antequera (AA) was a 2nd series Churruca-class destroyer that fought on the Republican side during the Spanish Civil War and, after the war, joined the post-war Spanish Navy.
She was named after Juan Bautista Antequera y Bobadilla, a vice admiral and Spanish Minister of the Navy.
After a patrol mission, some of her officers who sided with the rebels turned themselves in to the Republican authorities.
She also participated in the landings at Ibiza and in the failed Invasion of Majorca, as well as in the Battle of Cape Cherchell, while under the command of Captain Alberto Bayo.
On 17 September 1937, Almirante Antequera along with the destroyers Gravina, Sánchez Barcáiztegui and Escaño, the latter damaged by aerial bombing, engaged the Nationalist heavy cruiser Canarias, which scored a hit on Sánchez Barcáiztegui.
