History
The Turbine-class comprised 8 destroyers named after winds (Turbine, Borea, Nembo, Aquilone, Euro, Espero, Zeffiro, and Ostro). It was one of the first classes of military ships after the First World War. This class succeeded fairly well, they had 2 twin turrets with 120 mm/45 O.T.O. Mod. 1926 guns with 6 torpedoes for auxiliary armament.
They fought in the war, but suffered 6 losses by 1940 and the other 2 sank after the armistice of 8 September.
The Turbine-class ships presented characteristics that can be defined as intermediate between the ships of the first post-war period and those of the 1930s. They were launched in 1927-28, and compared to their predecessors had a hull lengthened by 3 m, so as to be able to accommodate a 10% more powerful propulsion apparatus.
Propulsion was given by 2 groups of steam turbines on 2 axles, each on a funnel of different sizes (the front funnel was larger) with a modest 40,000 horsepower. The torpedo launchers were 2 triple mounts of 533 mm, there were also depth charges and, similarly to the other ships of the type in service in the Regia Marina, up to 50 mines could be carried.
The main armament was based on 2 twin turrets of 120 mm/45 O.T.O. Mod. 1926 cannons.The twin cannons allowed for a much more compact design of the ships than 4 single installations, and certainly also contributed to the aesthetic harmony of the design, more compact and powerful, but the cannons very close together interfered with each other during fire, causing a dispersion of fire that haunted the naval engineers throughout the war.
Turbine-class ships:
- RN Turbine (1927)
- RN Borea (1927)
- RN Nembo (1927)
- RN Aquilone (1927)
- RN Euro (1927)
- RN Espero (1928)
- RN Zeffiro (1928)
- RN Ostro (1928)
