The Branlebas classШаблон:Efn was a class of ten destroyers built for the French Navy in the first decade of the 20th century. Eight of the ships survived the First World War and were scrapped afterwards.

Construction and design

The Branlebas-class was a development of the previous Шаблон:Sclass, and was the final evolution of the 300-tonne type which the French had built since 1899 with their first destroyer class, the Шаблон:Sclass. Like all the 300-tonne destroyers, the Branlebas-class ships had a turtledeck forecastle with a flying deck, raised above the hull, aft.[1]

They were Шаблон:Convert long between perpendiculars, with a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a maximum draught of Шаблон:Convert.[2] Displacement was Шаблон:Convert.[3] Two coal-fired Normand or Du Temple boilers fed steam at Шаблон:Convert to two 3-cylinder triple-expansion steam engines, rated at Шаблон:Convert, and driving two propeller shafts, giving a design speed of Шаблон:Convert.[2][3] Speeds reached during sea trials ranged from Шаблон:Convert for Шаблон:Ship to Шаблон:Convert for Шаблон:Ship. The ships had a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[4]

A Шаблон:Convert belt of armour was fitted to protect the ship's boilers and machinery.[5] The class was built with the standard gun armament for the 300-tonne destroyers, with a single [[Canon de 65 mm Modèle 1891|Шаблон:Convert]] forward, backed up by six [[QF 3-pounder Hotchkiss|Шаблон:Convert]] guns, while two 450 mm (17.7 in) torpedo tubes were carried, with one amidships and one right aft.[1][2] The ships had a complement of 4 officers and 56 men.[3]

The Branlebas class were considered good sea-boats, with reliable machinery.[6][7] By the time the class was built, however, they were outclassed by contemporary British and German destroyers, such as the Шаблон:Sclass2 and the German Шаблон:Sclass being larger (and more heavily armed.[8][6] (French destroyer size had been kept small owing to the influence of the Jeune École, which favoured the construction of large numbers of small ships.)[6]

Losses

  • Branlebas was sunk by a German mine on 30 September 1915 near Nieuwpoort, Belgium.
  • Étendard was sunk by German torpedoboat A39 on 25 April 1917 in the North Sea.
