The French destroyer Fougueux was one of 14 Шаблон:Sclasss built for the French Navy during the 1920s.

Design and description

The L'Adroit class was a slightly enlarged and improved version of the preceding Bourrasque class. The ships had an overall length of Шаблон:Convert, a beam of Шаблон:Convert, and a draft of Шаблон:Convert. The ships displaced Шаблон:Convert at standard load and Шаблон:Convert at deep load. They were powered by two geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by three du Temple boilers. The turbines were designed to produce Шаблон:Convert, which would propel the ships at Шаблон:Convert. The ships carried Шаблон:Convert of fuel oil which gave them a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[1]

The main armament of the L'Adroit-class ships consisted of four Canon de 130 mm Modèle 1924 guns in single mounts, one superfiring pair each fore and aft of the superstructure. Their anti-aircraft armament consisted of a pair of Canon de 37 mm Modèle 1925 guns. The ships carried two above-water triple sets of Шаблон:Convert torpedo tubes. A pair of depth charge chutes were built into their stern; these housed a total of sixteen Шаблон:Convert depth charges. In addition two depth charge throwers were fitted for which six Шаблон:Convert depth charges were carried.[2]

Construction and career

Fougueux was laid down on 21 September 1927, launched on 4 August 1928 and completed on 15 June 1930. She was sunk on 8 November 1942 off Casablanca, French Morocco, during the Naval Battle of Casablanca by gunfire from the United States Navy battleship Шаблон:USS. Twelve of her sailors were killed.[3]
