The Generali-class destroyer was a class of Italian destroyers, built as a development of the Template:Sclass-. They were the last ships of the Regia Marina (Italian Navy), fitted with three stacks. In 1929, being obsolete, units were reclassified as torpedo-boats, and in this role served during Second World War.

Origins

The class was built between 1921 and 1924, ordered from Cantieri Odero, Sestri Ponente. The ships were able to reach 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph) of top speed, an improvement respect the previous class Rosolino Pilo. Their displacement was 832 tons (normal) and 890 tons (full load). Their armament initially was composed of three 102-millimetre (4 in)/45 calibre guns and two 76 mm (3 in)/30 calibre guns, and four 450 mm (18 in) torpedo launchers. In 1936 ships were enabled with minesweeping equipment.[1]

Units

The class was known also by name of his first unit, Generale Antonio Cantore. All other ships were dedicated to Italian generals. None of them survived the war.
