Editing HMS Ithuriel (H05) (section)

==Description==
The I-class ships were improved versions of the preceding [[G and H-class destroyer|H-class]]. They displaced {{convert|1370|LT|t|lk=on}} at [[Displacement (ship)|standard]] load and {{convert|1888|LT|t}} at [[deep load]]. The ships had an [[length overall|overall length]] of {{convert|323|ft|m|1}}, a [[beam (nautical)|beam]] of {{convert|33|ft|m|1}} and a [[draft (hull)|draught]] of {{convert|12|ft|6|in|m|1}}. They were powered by two [[Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company|Parsons]] geared [[steam turbine]]s, each driving one [[propeller shaft]], using steam provided by three [[Admiralty three-drum boiler]]s. The turbines developed a total of {{convert|34000|shp|lk=on}} and were intended to give a maximum speed of {{convert|35.5|kn|lk=in}}.<ref name=l6/> ''Ithuriel'' reached a speed of {{convert|32.6|kn}} from {{cvt|34368|shp}} during her [[sea trial]]s.<ref>March, p. 315</ref> The ships carried enough [[fuel oil]] to give them a range of {{convert|5500|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|15|kn}}. Their crew numbered 145 officers and [[Naval rating|ratings]].<ref name=l6>Lenton, p. 163</ref>

The ships mounted four [[4.7 inch QF Mark XII|4.7-inch (120&nbsp;mm) Mark IX guns]] in single mounts, designated 'A', 'B', 'X' and 'Y' from [[bow (ship)|bow]] to [[stern]]. While under construction, their [[Anti-aircraft warfare|anti-aircraft (AA)]] armament was augmented by a single [[QF 12 pounder 12 cwt naval gun|12-pounder ({{cvt|3|in|0}})]] AA gun that replaced the planned aft set of [[torpedo tube]]s. In addition the intended pair of quadruple mounts for the [[Vickers .50 machine gun|0.5&nbsp;inch Vickers Mark III]] [[machine gun]] were replaced by a pair of [[Oerlikon 20 mm cannon|{{convert|20|mm|1|adj=on|sp=us}} Oerlikon]] light AA guns. The Turkish ships were fitted with a single above-water quadruple torpedo tube mount [[amidships]] for [[British 21 inch torpedo|{{convert|21|in|adj=on|0}}]] torpedoes.<ref>Whitley, p. 111</ref> One [[depth charge]] rack and two throwers were fitted for 35 depth charges.<ref>English, p. 141</ref> The Turkish ships were fitted with the [[ASDIC]] sound detection system to locate submarines underwater<ref>Hodges & Friedman, p. 16</ref> and a [[Type 286 radar|Type 286]] [[search radar]].<ref name=l6/>
