Project history: In the late 1938
Turkey ordered in the Great Britain 4
destroyers similar to British I class, but with quadruple TT banks instead of
quintuple and simplified fire control system "director-rangefinder". After
WWII beginning British Government bought 2 destroyers built by Vickers-Armstrong, and in 1942 they were
commissioned by Royal Navy as Inconstant (Muavenet) and Ithuriel (Gayret). Inconstant in 1945
was returned to Turkey under former name. Ithuriel was hard damaged by
German aircraft 28.11.1942 and was never repaired, in 1945 she was broken up; instead of
her Turkey in 1946 received destroyer Oribi. The Denni-built ships Demirhissar and Sultanhissar in 1942
were transferred to Turkey, however for period of transition they nominally joined
Royal Navy structure and were complemented by British crews.
Designed armament corresponded to British standards: 4
120mm/45 Mk lX** guns, 2 quadruple 12.7mm AA MGs, but by the moment of transfer
AA armament was changed.
Modernizations: early 1950s, all: - 2 x 1 - 20/70; + 6 x 1 - 40/60 Mk 3
Naval service: No significant events.
