Santander — Pan-American Tier IX cruiser.

In accordance with the Rio de Janeiro Treaty of 1947, the old Brooklyn-class cruisers were to be transferred to the Colombian Navy to strengthen it. If Colombia had decided to order a new ship, it could have been Santander, a cruiser based on the American Worcester-class ships.

Santander was first released for sale on DD MMM YYYY.
