Carquois was one of 13 Шаблон:Sclasss built for the French Navy in the first decade of the 20th century.

Construction and career

Carquois was ordered on 5 July 1904 and was laid down at the Arsenal de Rochefort five days later. The ship was launched on 26 June 1907 and was assigned to the Mediterranean Squadron (Шаблон:Lang) after her completion in August 1908.[1] She remained with that unit after it was redesignated as the Third Squadron (Шаблон:Lang) until she was transferred to the 2nd Squadron at Brest in September 1911. Carquois was assigned to the 1st Destroyer Flotilla (Шаблон:Lang) when the 2nd Squadron was reorganized and renamed the 2nd Light Squadron (Шаблон:Lang) in November.[2]

When the First World War began in August 1914, Carquois was still assigned to the 1st Destroyer Flotilla [3] at Brest and remained with the unit through 1915. She was transferred to the North Sea Flotilla (Шаблон:Lang), based at Dunkerque, the following year. On 24 May 1916, her sister ship, Шаблон:Ship struck a mine and was disabled. The destroyer followed her sister into the minefield to render assistance and towed her back to port. Carquois remained with the flotilla for the rest of the war. She served with the 3rd Aviso Squadron (Шаблон:Lang) of the 3rd Maritime Region (Шаблон:Lang) from 1919 to 23 October 1926 when she was disarmed.The ship was unsuccessfully listed for sale as a patrol boat in 1926–1929, but was not struck from the naval register until 29 November 1930 and condemned 2 days later. She was sold for scrap on 9 July 1931.[2][1]
