Notes

Named Diligente on stocks, was launched at Guarnizo and finished (armed, supplied & renamed Principe) at El Ferrol.

Was obstructed, stopping his construcction for a process of fraud & swindle against Juan Fernandez de la Isla.

Due to this, had building problems and remained in port (El Ferrol) most of its service life.
