The French destroyer Téméraire was one of four Шаблон:Sclasss that was built for the Argentine Navy in the early 1910s. The ships were taken over by the French Navy after the start of the First World War in August 1914. She was stricken in 1936 and subsequently scrapped.

Design and description

The Aventurier-class ships were significantly larger and more heavily armed than other French destroyers of the period. The ships had an overall length of Шаблон:Convert, a beam of Шаблон:Convert, and a draft of Шаблон:Convert. They displaced Шаблон:Convert at normal load and Шаблон:Cvt at deep load. Their crew numbered 140 men.[1]

The ships were powered by a pair of Rateau steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft using steam provided by five mixed-firing Foster-Wheeler boilers. The engines were designed to produce Шаблон:Convert which was intended to give the ships a speed of Шаблон:Convert. The ships carried Шаблон:Cvt of coal and Шаблон:Cvt of fuel oil that gave them a range of Шаблон:Convert at a cruising speed of Шаблон:Convert.[2]

The primary armament of the Aventurier-class ships consisted of four Шаблон:Convert guns in single mounts, one on the forecastle, one between the funnels, and two on the quarterdeck, in front and behind the searchlight platform. They were fitted with a Шаблон:Convert AA gun for anti-aircraft defence. The ships were also equipped with four single mounts for Шаблон:Convert torpedo tubes amidships.[1]

Construction and career

Téméraire was ordered from Ateliers et Chantiers de Bretagne and was launched on 8 December 1911 with the name of San Juan at its Nantes shipyard. The ship was completed on 2 November 1914.[2]

On 27 May 1915, Téméraire and her sister ship Шаблон:Ship escorted the armored cruiser Шаблон:Ship as she transported Vice-Admiral (Шаблон:Lang) Augustin Boué de Lapeyrère, commander of the 1st Naval Army (Шаблон:Lang), to Taranto, Italy, for a meeting with Admiral Prince Luigi Amedeo, Duke of the Abruzzi (Шаблон:Lang), Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Italian Navy (Шаблон:Lang).[3] According to a British report of 5 June, Téméraire was tasked to patrol the area around Palermo, Sicily.[4]

She was stricken in 1936 and broken up for scrap.[1]
