The second CNS Hyatt was a Serrano class destroyer of the Chilean Navy which served during World War II. It was laid down in 1927 by Thornycroft, at Woolston, Hampshire, England. She was launched by Mrs Margarita L. de Cubillos in November 1928, and commissioned on April 1929.
The 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 tons and were armed with three 4.7" and one 3" DP guns as well as six 21" torpedo tubes. The ships could make 35 knots, but their light built proved unsuitable for the harsh southern waters off Chile's coast.
