Italian destroyer Carabiniere (1909)

Carabiniere was a Soldato-class destroyer of the Italian Regia Marina, named for the carabinier. The Gio. Ansaldo & C. shipyard in Genoa laid her down on 7 November 1905, launched her on 12 October 1909 and completed her on 26 January 1910. 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, and her 65 tonnes of fuel oil gave a range of 1,600 nautical miles at 12 knots. She served in the Italo-Turkish War, in which Italian ships sank the Ottoman vessel Tokad and a gunboat, and in the First World War. She was reclassified as a torpedo boat on 1 July 1921 and stricken from the naval register on 7 May 1925, discarded the same day and scrapped.
