Hyatt was one of six vessels in its class to serve Chile. The class was ordered from the United Kingdom and delivered in 1928 and 1929. Like its sister ships Serrano and Orella it was also equipped with mine laying capability. The vessels had a displacement of 1450 tonnes and were armed with three 4.7 in (120 mm)/45 and one 3 in (76 mm)/40 DP gun as well as six 21-inch torpedo tubes. The ships could make 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph), but their light built proved unsuitable for the harsh southern waters off Chile's coast.
