The '''''Condell'' class''' was the name given to a class of two new build and upgraded type {{sclass|Leander|frigate}}s of the Chilean Navy, ''Almirante Condell'' and ''Almirante Lynch''.

==Overview==
They were ordered by the Chilean government in 1969 as [[Anti-submarine warfare|ASW]] frigates. The ships were built between 1969 and 1973, under Chilean modifications, by [[Yarrow Shipbuilders|Yarrow (Shipbuilders) Ltd.]] in [[Scotstoun]], Glasgow. ''Almirante Condell'' arrived in Chile in 1973, with ''Almirante Lynch'' following in 1974.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0EpFrlIqblEC&q=Condell-class%20frigate%20-wikipedia|publisher=Crescent Books|author=David Miller|date=1992|title=The World's Navies: An Illustrated Review of the Navies of the World|isbn=9780517052419 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Jane's Defence Weekly|volume=17|date=1992}}</ref>
