Voltigeur-class destroyer

The Voltigeur class was a class of two destroyers of the French Navy built between 1908/09, used during the First World War.

The ships were modelled on the preceding. The machinery consisted of three shafts: the central shaft had a triple expansion engine for economical cruising and the two outer shafts had Rateau (Voltigeur) or Breguet (Tirailleur) turbines for additional speed, all powered by four Normand (Voltigeur) or Du Temple (Tirailleur) boilers.
