Design and description
The Arquebuse class was designed as a faster version of the preceding Шаблон:Sclass. The ships had an overall length of Шаблон:Convert,[1] a beam of Шаблон:Convert, and a maximum draft of Шаблон:Convert.[2] They normally displaced Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Cvt at deep load. The two vertical triple-expansion steam engines each drove one propeller shaft using steam provided by two du Temple Guyot or Normand boilers. The engines were designed to produce a total of Шаблон:Convert[1] for a designed speed of Шаблон:Convert,[3] all the ships exceeded their contracted speed during their sea trials[1] with Dard reaching a speed of Шаблон:Convert. They carried enough coal to give them a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[4] They carried enough coal to give them a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[2] Their crew consisted of four officers and fifty-eight enlisted men.[1]
The main armament of the Arquebuse-class ships consisted of a single Шаблон:Convert gun forward of the bridge and six [[QF 3-pounder Hotchkiss|Шаблон:Convert]] Hotchkiss guns in single mounts, three on each broadside. They were fitted with two single rotating mounts for Шаблон:Convert torpedo tubes on the centerline, one between the funnels and the other on the stern.[1]
