Estonian destroyer Wambola

Wambola was a destroyer of the Estonian Navy during the interwar period, originally a Russian Orfey-class ship (Lejtienant Iljin type). Previously, it was known as the Russian Kapitan I ranga Miklouho-Maclay during World War I, later the Soviet Spartak, and subsequently the Peruvian Almirante Villar.

The construction of the vessel began in 1914 for the Imperial Russian Navy, launched in 1915, and entered service in 1917 under the name Kapitan I ranga Miklouho-Maclay (Russian: Капитан 1-го ранга Миклухо-Маклай, lit. 'Captain 1st Rank Miklouho-Maclay'). It avoided capture by the Germans by fleeing Helsingfors during the Ice March. The ship was taken over by the Red Fleet and renamed Spartak (Russian: Спартак, lit. 'Spartacus'). During the conflict against Estonia, it participated in landing and mining operations. In December 1918, it was captured by the Royal Navy and handed over to the Estonians. In the Estonian Navy, it was named Wambola. During the Estonian War of Independence, it took part in operations against the Bolsheviks in the waters of the Gulf of Finland and in operations against the Baltische Landeswehr in Riga. After the war, it made occasional diplomatic visits. In 1933, due to high maintenance costs, it was sold to Peru. In the Peruvian Navy, it was named Almirante Villar, 'Admiral Villar'. It did not manage to participate in the Colombia–Peru War but took part in battles against Ecuador in 1941. During World War II, it served in patrol duties and was decommissioned in 1954.
