Italian destroyer Carlo Mirabello

Carlo Mirabello was the name ship of the three Mirabello-class scout cruisers built for the Italian Regia Marina during the First World War, and she was reclassified as a destroyer in 1938. Gio. Ansaldo & C. laid her down at Sestri Ponente on 21 November 1914, launched her on 21 December 1915 and commissioned her on 24 August 1916. She was 103.75 metres long and displaced 1,784 tonnes at standard load, with two Parsons geared steam turbines fed by four Yarrow boilers and rated at 44,000 shaft horsepower. On trials she reached 33.74 knots. She took part in the Adriatic campaign, including the Battle of the Strait of Otranto in May 1917, and in the interwar years made a cruise to 19 countries. In the Second World War she escorted convoys in the Adriatic and Ionian seas until a mine laid by the British minelayer HMS Abdiel blew off her bow, and she was scuttled south of Lefkada.
