The Palestro-class were four destroyers of the Italian Regia Marina that saw service from the mid-1920s to World War II.
The ships were designed in 1915 and based on the Audace-class destroyer. Eight ships were ordered, but because of wartime shortages of materials only four were eventually completed. These four ships were laid down in 1917 at the Orlando shipyard in Livorno, but were not finally completed until 1921–1923. In 1938 they were re-rated as torpedo boats.
The ships had an overall length of 81.9 m (268 ft 8 in), a beam of 8.0 m (26 ft 3 in), and a draught of 2.7 m (8 ft 10 in). Standard displacement was 875 long tons (889 t), increasing to 1,076 long tons (1,093 t) at full load. The complement consisted of 118 officers and enlisted personnel.
Propulsion was provided by four Thornycroft boilers supplying steam to two Zoelly steam turbines, which drove two shafts. The machinery was rated at 18,000 shaft horsepower (13,423 kW), giving a designed speed of 32 knots (59 km/h; 37 mph). The ships had a range of approximately 1,970 nautical miles (3,650 km; 2,270 mi) at 14 knots (26 km/h; 16 mph).
Armament consisted of four 102 mm/45 Schneider-Armstrong Model 1917 guns in single...
