The
Sauro-class destroyers were enlarged and improved versions of the preceding
Sella class. They had an
overall length of 90.16 meters (296 ft), a beam of 9.2 meters (30 ft 2 in) and a mean
draft of 2.9 meters (9 ft 6 in). They displaced 1,058
metric tons (1,041
long tons) at
standard load, and 1,600 metric tons (1,570 long tons) at
deep load. Their complement was 8–10 officers and 146 enlisted men.
The
Sauros were powered by two
Parsons geared
steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft using steam supplied by three
Yarrow boilers. The turbines were rated at 36,000
shaft horsepower (27,000
kW) for a speed of 31
knots (57 km/h; 36 mph) in service, although
Nazario Sauro reached a speed of 36.5 knots (67.6 km/h; 42.0 mph) from 37,000 shp (28,000 kW) during her
sea trials while lightly loaded. The ships carried enough
fuel oil to give them a range of 2,600
nautical miles (4,800 km; 3,000 mi) at a speed of 14 knots (26 km/h; 16 mph).
Their
main battery consisted of four
120-millimeter (4.7 in) guns in two twin-
gun turrets, one each fore and aft of the
superstructure.
Anti-aircraft (AA) defense for the
Sauro-class ships was provided by a pair of
40-millimeter (1.6 in) AA guns in single mounts
amidships and a pair of
13.2-millimeter (0.52 in) machine guns. They were equipped with six 533-millimeter (21 in)
torpedo tubes in two triple mounts amidships. The
Sauros could also carry 52
mines.
