History
In 1935, it was purchased by the Republican Navy of Rakeo, and was equipped for anti-submarine warfare, being launched and commissioned in 1936. Under Captain Vicente Tamayo Piñón, it would go on to serve in Rakeo's naval intervention in the Senvarian sea. Maria Camila developed a reputation for being unsinkable, surviving a deadly ambush by Miguelist submersibles in 1938 during an escort mission. When news of a widespread mutiny reached its crew in 1950, they abandoned it in port and fled.
The ship was seized and used for covert reconnaissance by elements of the Militants for National Revival. In 1952, it was given to the Stratocratic Authority, and moved to the 1st Provisional Flotilla, under the command of Admiral Ernesto Magalhaes. He renamed it Koralo after his uncle, Koralo Magalhaes. The ship once again saw combat in 1953 during the flotilla's blockade against the city of Junfilo. It sustained damaged and returned to port for repairs, and would not see naval exchanges for 1954 to 1955.
It was decommissioned 17 April 1956, and was sold to a Rektiv-based fishing company. After its crew were implicated in the 1960 Freemont Strait massacre, the ship was seized and sold for scrap.
