Capitaine Mehl was one of a dozen Шаблон:Sclasss built for the French Navy in the first decade of the 20th century.

Design and description

The Bouclier class were designed to a general specification and varied significantly from each other in various ways.[1] The ships had an overall length of Шаблон:Convert, a beam of Шаблон:Convert, and a draft of Шаблон:Convert. Designed to displace Шаблон:Convert, they displaced Шаблон:Cvt at normal load. Their crew numbered 80–83 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. Capitaine Mehl handily exceed that speed, reaching Шаблон:Convert during her sea trials. The ships carried enough fuel oil to give them a range of Шаблон:Convert at cruising speeds of Шаблон:Convert.[2]

The primary armament of the Bouclier-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.[1]

During World War I, a Шаблон:Convert or [[Canon de 75 modèle 1897#Naval and coastal artillery|Шаблон:Convert]] anti-aircraft gun, two Шаблон:Convert machine guns, and eight or ten Guiraud-type depth charges were added to the ships. The extra weight severely overloaded the ships and reduced their operational speed to around Шаблон:Convert.[1]

Construction and career

Capitaine Mehl was ordered from Ateliers et Chantiers de la Loire and was launched from its Saint-Nazaire shipyard on 20 April 1912. The ship was completed later that year.[3]
