Esmeraldas-class corvette equipment records. Variants, orders and quantities are shown as reported in each inventory source; coverage is incomplete.
EcuadorNavy exact named Esmeraldas (ITA Tipo 550), Esmeraldas (ITA Tipo 550) component holdings; active, operational-reserve and training equipment excluding equipment in store, except explicit status exclusions stated below. November 2025 IISS assessment. Named service only, not a national total or combat-readiness measure. Source armament/capacity counts are excluded. Family total 6 is the sum of distinct source-listed configurations: Esmeraldas (ITA Tipo 550)=5 + Esmeraldas (ITA Tipo 550)=1. The own literal variant/class identity proves each component; no prefix or sibling inference. The source explicitly splits six Esmeraldas-class corvettes into five with the stated torpedo fit and one without it. The class is the own literal Esmeraldas design; ITA Tipo 550 is retained as provenance, not another Italian-class quantity.
