The French destroyer Mécanicien Principal Lestin was the second of two Enseigne Roux-class destroyers built for the French Navy during the First World War.

Design and description

The Enseigne Roux class was an enlarged version of the preceding Шаблон:Sclass. The ships had an overall length of Шаблон:Convert, a beam of Шаблон:Convert, and a draft of Шаблон:Convert. They displaced Шаблон:Convert at normal load. Their crew numbered 76–81 men.[1]

The ships were powered by a pair of Parsons steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft using steam provided by four water-tube boilers. The engines were designed to produce Шаблон:Convert which was intended to give the ships a speed of Шаблон:Convert. During her sea trials, Mécanicien Principal Lestin reached a speed of Шаблон:Convert.[2] The ships carried enough fuel oil to give them a range of Шаблон:Convert at cruising speeds of Шаблон:Convert.[1]

The primary armament of the Enseigne Roux-class ships consisted of two [[Canon de 100 mm Modèle 1891|Шаблон:Convert]] Modèle 1893 guns in single mounts, one each fore and aft of the superstructure, and four [[Canon de 65 mm Modèle 1891|Шаблон:Convert Modèle 1902]] guns distributed amidships. They were also fitted with two twin mounts for Шаблон:Convert torpedo tubes amidships.[2]

Construction and career

Mécanicien Principal Lestin was ordered from the Arsenal de Rochefort and was laid down on 12 November 1913. The ship was launched on 15 May 1915 and completed the following year. She was initially assigned the Mediterraneand Fleet and was transferred to the Dunkirk Flotilla defending the English Channel in 1918.[3]
