The Framée class comprised four early French destroyers completed in 1900-1901. Each ship was about 58 meters long and displaced 319 tons, reaching a speed of 26 knots. The armament consisted of one 65 mm gun, six 47 mm guns, and two 381 mm torpedo tubes. These destroyers primarily served in anti-torpedo boat duties and were deployed during the early years of the French destroyer programme. Framée itself sank in 1900 after a collision with the battleship Brennus, with heavy loss of life. The remaining sister ships operated during World War I but were either lost or scrapped shortly after the war. In the game, the Framée-class destroyers will be extremely useful vessels. Their strong torpedo armament will pose a threat even to the largest ships, while their smaller calibre guns will easily deal with enemy torpedo boats. Although they are not among the fastest destroyers, their speed is more than sufficient to carry out the tasks assigned to them.
