Spain:
Destroyer Huesca (formerly the Italian Alessandro Poerio), sometimes after 1937

The Alessandro Poerio, lead ship of her class of light scouts (esploratori) - re-rated destroyers after WWI, had an intense career in the Great War, deployed in the Adriatic and fighting in quite a few of the engagements that happened there between light ships.

In October 1937, together with other obsolescent ships (scouts Aquila and Falco, and the Poerio's sister ship Guglielmo Pepe) that the RM begrudgingly had accepted to sell, it sailed from Italy to Spain, where it was taken over by the Armada Española, with the new name Huesca.

Despite her age, she would serve for quite a bit in the Spanish Navy, being struck and sold for scrap on 17 August 1953.
