Italian destroyer Ascaro

Ascaro was a Soldato-class destroyer of the Italian Regia Marina and the eleventh and last ship of her class. She began as Tsing Po, a destroyer ordered in 1910 by the Chinese Empire for the Imperial Chinese Navy. The Gio. Ansaldo & C. shipyard in Genoa laid her down in 1911, a year after the other units of the class were finished, and while she was on the ways the Kingdom of Italy bought her in 1912. Renamed Ascaro, she was launched on 6 December 1912 and completed on 21 July 1913. She differed from her sisters in having mixed-fuel propulsion, with one coal-fired boiler and two oil-fired ones, driving two sets of triple-expansion steam engines. She served in the First World War, was reclassified as a torpedo boat in 1921, was stricken from the naval register on 31 May 1930 and was scrapped.
