The tables below present a view of the decommissioned ships of the Colombian Navy. ^[1]

The Colombian Navy was first formed in 1810 during the war of independence, exiled during the Spanish reconquest in 1815 and returned in 1819 during the successful rebellion of Simon Bolivar. Many major units were lost in 1830 on the separation of Venezuela and Ecuador, including her frigates and corvettes. In 1843 the navy was ordered to be suppressed, ^[2] what ships remained came under the command of the army until 1860-67 when a formal navy returned during and after the 1860-62 Colombian Civil War. In 1867 the navy was decreed to be sold again, ^[3] standing naval forces consisting only of the coastguard and steamers for interior work, with armies of both sides expropriating or seizing ships during the numerous civil wars of 1860, 1876, 1885, and 1895. The few ships that were bought were quickly sold after conflict had ended and contract steamers were operated for short periods sometimes by individual states. The navy was reformed around the cruiser Cordoba acquired in 1896 and had a major role in the 1899-1902 civil war. ^[4] With the last of the cruisers sold in 1916 ^[5] the navy reverted to a coastguard and river service until it saw a rapid expansion for the 1932-33 Peru-Colombia War.

Cruisers

Bogota seen shortly before purchase by Colombia. She was specifically acquired to hunt down the rebel Almirante Padilla

The Namouna was transformed into the Colombian cruiser General Próspero Pinzón, fitted with one 14 pounder and four 6 pounder QF

Presidente Marroquin was initially lent to Venezuelan rebels as the Libertador fitted with four 3.9 inch QF

These vessels were all rated as crucero in Colombian government records, but with the exception of Cartagena are often given as gunboats in European records.

Notes

1. Note that the roles Offshore patrol vs. Coastal patrol are not standardized across different navies. For the purposes of this article, the OP vessel is considered the heavier and more oceanic role, with significantly more range or endurance, drawing the line arbitrarily at a displacement of roughly 200 tonnes vs. the CP. Nevertheless, many CP vessels are capable of oceanic navigation within reason, and OP vessels are also routinely used in coastal patrol missions.
