Italian destroyer Artigliere (1907)

Artigliere was a Soldato-class destroyer of the Italian Regia Marina, commissioned in 1907 and named for the artilleryman. The Gio. Ansaldo & C. shipyard in Genoa laid her down on 24 July 1905, launched her on 18 January 1907 and completed her on 26 August 1907. Two sets of triple-expansion steam engines fed by three Thornycroft water-tube boilers gave an estimated 6,000 indicated horsepower and a design speed of 28.5 knots. She first carried 95 tonnes of coal and was later converted to burn fuel oil, with a capacity of 65 tonnes. She served in the Italo-Turkish War, where she and Corazziere sank the Ottoman torpedo boats Alpagot and Hamidiye with gunfire at their anchorage, and in the First World War. She was reclassified as a torpedo boat on 1 July 1921, stricken on 14 June 1923 and scrapped.
