The Chasseur class was a group of four destroyers of the French Navy built between 1909–1910, used during the First World War. A fifth ship was sold to Peru.[1]
Apart from Chasseur, which still used coal, they were the first French Navy ships to be fitted with oil-fired boilers. In trials they exceeded their designed power by a wide margin, achieving speeds of up to 31 knots (57 km/h; 36 mph).[2]
