HMS Sable was a Шаблон:Sclass2 destroyer that served with the Royal Navy during the First World War. The R class were an improvement on the previous M class with geared steam turbines to improve efficiency. Laid down by J. Samuel White at East Cowes on the Isle of Wight, the destroyer was launched in November 1916 and joined the Grand Fleet. Service during the war was mostly uneventful, apart from a collision with fellow R class destroyer Шаблон:HMS. After the War, the destroyer was placed in reserve and decommissioned, being sold to be broken up in August 1927. In a twist of fate,Salmon was renamed Sable in 1933.

Design and development

Шаблон:Main Sable was one of seventeen Шаблон:Sclass2 delivered to the British Admiralty as part of the Sixth War Construction Programme.Шаблон:Sfn The design was generally similar to the preceding M class, but differed in having geared turbines, the central gun mounted on a bandstand and minor changes to improve seakeeping.Шаблон:Sfn

The destroyer had an overall length of Шаблон:Convert, with a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a draught of Шаблон:Convert. Displacement was Шаблон:Convert normal and Шаблон:Convert deep load. Power was provided by three Yarrow boilers feeding two Parsons geared steam turbines rated at Шаблон:Convert and driving two shafts, to give a design speed of Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn During trials, the vessel achieved a speed of Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn Three funnels were fitted. A fuel load of Шаблон:Convert of oil was carried, giving a design range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn

Armament consisted of three single [[QF 4 inch naval gun Mk IV, XII, XXII|Шаблон:Convert Mk IV]] guns on the ship's centreline, with one on the forecastle, one aft on a raised platform and one between the second and third funnels.Шаблон:Sfn A single [[QF 2-pounder naval gun|2-pounder Шаблон:Convert"pom-pom"]] anti-aircraft gun was carried on a platform between two twin mounts for Шаблон:Convert torpedoes.Шаблон:Sfn The ship had a complement of 82 officers and ratings.Шаблон:Sfn

Construction and career

Ordered in July 1915, Sable was laid down by J. Samuel White at East Cowes on the Isle of Wight with the yard number 1477, and launched on 28 June the following year.Шаблон:Sfn The vessel was the first of the name, recalling the species of Marten.Шаблон:Sfn The destroyer was completed on 30 November 1916 and was deployed as part of the Grand Fleet, joining the Fifteenth Destroyer Flotilla, remaining until the end of the war.Шаблон:Sfn[1][2]

The destroyer was soon on active service and, on 29 January 1917, joined a flotilla led by leader Шаблон:HMS that sought to engage German destroyers in a sweep of the English Channel.Шаблон:Sfn On 12 February, four German large torpedo boats attacked the regular convoy between Britain and Norway, overwhelming the escort of two destroyers (Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS) and four naval trawlers. All the escort except Pellew were sunk, as were all six merchant ships.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Sable picked up survivors from one of the trawlers, Шаблон:HMT, later that day.Шаблон:Sfn On 14 April, the destroyer formed part of the escort for Шаблон:RMS, which transported Arthur Balfour on a mission to the US to procure additional destroyers for the fleet. The mission encountered heavy seas that caused substantial damage, but was a success.Шаблон:Sfn The ship later undertook anti-submarine patrols.Шаблон:Sfn Also during the year, the ship collided with sister ship Шаблон:HMS, sustaining damage to the bridge.Шаблон:Sfn Both ships made it successfully back to port.Шаблон:Sfn

After the Armistice, Sable helped to escort the surrendered German fleet to its internment and subsequent scuttling at Scapa Flow.Шаблон:Sfn The vessel was then allocated to the torpedo school at Portsmouth attached to Шаблон:HMS.[3] During 1919, the ship was moved to Plymouth and reduced to reserve.[4] On 28 July 1921, the destroyer was moved to Portland.[5] However, in 1923, the Navy decided to scrap many of the older destroyers in preparation for the introduction of newer and larger vessels.Шаблон:Sfn Sable was one of the destroyers chosen for retirement.[6] During August 1927, Sable was sold to Hughes Bolckow of Blyth, Northumberland and subsequently broken up.Шаблон:Sfn The name was subsequently taken in 1933 by the very Salmon that had collided with the destroyer earlier in her career.Шаблон:Sfn
