Arquebuse was the name ship of her class of 20 Шаблон:Lang built for the French Navy in the first decade of the 20th century. Completed in 1903, the ship was assigned to the Northern Squadron (Шаблон:Lang).

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 Arquebuse reaching a speed of Шаблон:Convert. 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]

Construction and career

Arquebuse (Arquebus) was ordered from Chantiers et Ateliers Augustin Normand on 1 August 1900 and the ship was laid down later that year at its shipyard in Le Havre. She was launched on 15 November 1902 and conducted her sea trials during January–May 1903. The ship was commissioned (Шаблон:Lang) after their completion and was assigned to the Northern Squadron.[4]

When the First World War began in August 1914, Arquebus was assigned to the 3rd Destroyer Flotilla (Шаблон:Lang) of the 2nd Light Squadron (Шаблон:Lang)[5] based at Cherbourg.[4]

She was one of five destroyers that escorted the predreadnought battleship Шаблон:Ship from Bizerte, French Tunisia, to Toulon in September 1917.[6]
