The French destroyer Algérien was one of a dozen Шаблон:Sclasss built for the French Navy in Japan during the First World War.
Design and description
The Arabe-class ships had an overall length of Шаблон:Convert, a length between perpendiculars of Шаблон:Convert a beam of Шаблон:Convert, and a draft of Шаблон:Convert.[1] The ships displaced Шаблон:Convert at normal load.[2] They were powered by three vertical triple-expansion steam engines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by four mixed-firing Kampon Yarrow-type boilers. The engines were designed to produce Шаблон:Convert, which would propel the ships at Шаблон:Convert. During their sea trials, the Arabe class reached Шаблон:Convert.[3] The ships carried enough coal and fuel oil which gave them a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[4] Their crew consisted of 5 officers and 104 crewmen.[5]
The main armament of the Arabe-class ships was a single [[QF 4.7-inch Gun Mk I–IV|Type 41 Шаблон:Convert gun]], mounted before the bridge on the forecastle. Their secondary armament consisted of four [[QF 12-pounder 12 cwt naval gun|Type 41 Шаблон:Convert guns]] in single mounts; two of these were positioned abreast the middle funnel and the others were on the centerline further aft. One of these latter guns was on a high-angle mount and served as an anti-aircraft gun. The ships carried two above-water twin mounts for Шаблон:Convert torpedo tubes. In 1917–18, a rack for eight Шаблон:Convert depth charges was added.[6]
Construction and career
Algérien was ordered from Yokosuka Naval Arsenal[4] and was launched in 1917. The ship was completed in September of that year. She was stricken on 14 June 1936 and subsequently broken up for scrap.[7]
