Italy Destroyer
The Maestrale class developed from the previous series of destroyers. The hull was enlarged, taking into account rational weight distribution and durability. The ships received new 120 mm guns. During the Spanish Civil War, the lead ship accompanied transports with the Italian forces. During World War II, Maestrale participated in patrol and escort missions, escorting convoys to Africa. On January 9, 1943, the ship was heavily damaged after hitting a mine.
