At the beginning of the 1930s, the Freccia-class destroyers were becoming inefficient so the Regia Marina began searching for a new type of destroyer. The Maestrale-class project was chosen, in which the hull was improved by making it stronger and other changes were made to the ship's balance to give a better and not as hard rolling as the Freccia-class. Despite this, the armaments did not vary much in the beginning and they had similar characteristics. Eventually, 4 units were built. RN Grecale was laid down on 25 September 1931 and launched on 17 May 1934 by C.R.D.A. Shipyards of Ancona, delivered to the Regia Marina on 15 November 1934, was the 3rd Ship of the ‘Maestrale’ class. In 1936, she participated in various military missions in Spain. From 1940 to 1941, it was mainly used as an escort ship, participating in the second Battle of Sirte, the Battle of Mezzo Agosto and in various Allied operations. After World War II, the RN Grecale was used for training purposes until 31 May 1964 when she was decommissioned.
