Hyatt was a
Woolston, Hampshire, England
. She was launched by Mrs Margarita L. de Cubillos in November 1928, and commissioned in April 1929.
Hyatt was one of six vessels in its class to serve Chile. The class was ordered from the
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.
