Design and description
The Bourrasque class had an overall length of 105.6 meters (346ft 5in), a beam of 9.7 meters (31ft 10in), and a draft of 3.5 meters (11ft 6in). The ships displaced 1,320 metric tons (1,300 long tons) at (standard) load and 1,825 metric tons (1,796 long tons) 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 31,000 metric horsepower (22,800kW; 30,576shp), which would propel the ship at 33 knots (61km/h; 38mph). The ships carried enough fuel oil to give them a range of 3,000 nautical miles (5,600km; 3,500mi) at 15 knots (28km/h; 17mph).[1]
The main armament of the Bourrasque-class ships consisted of four Canon de 130mm (5.1in) Modèle 1919 guns in shielded single mounts, one superfiring pair each fore and aft of the superstructure. Their anti-aircraft (AA) armament consisted of a single Canon de 75mm (3in) Modèle 1924 gun. The ships carried two triple mounts of 550-millimeter (21.7in) torpedo tubes amidships. A pair of depth charge chutes were built into their stern that housed a total of sixteen 200-kilogram (440lb) depth charges.[1]
Construction and career
Bourrasque slowly sinking
Bourrasque was laid down on 12 November 1923, launched on 5 August 1925 and completed on 23 September 1926.[2]
Bourrasque was sunk on 30 May 1940 during Operation Dynamo, with the loss of some 500 of the 1,100–1,200 troops and crew aboard.[3][4]
