Bombarde was a Шаблон:Sclass 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 Bombarde reaching a speed of Шаблон:Convert. They carried enough coal to give them a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[4] 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

Bombard (Bombard) was ordered from Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerranée on 29 May 1901 and the ship was laid down on 6 December at its shipyard in Graville-Le Havre. She was launched on 26 June 1903 and conducted her sea trials during August–November 1903. The ship was commissioned (Шаблон:Lang) on 26 November and was assigned to the Northern Squadron.[5]

When the First World War began in August 1914, Bombarde was assigned to the 3rd Destroyer Flotilla (Шаблон:Lang) of the 2nd Light Squadron (Шаблон:Lang)[6] based at Cherbourg.[5]
