French destroyer Amiral Sénès

The French destroyer Amiral Sénès was a 1916 Type Large Torpedo Boat (Großes Torpedoboot) of the Imperial German Navy during World War I.

The outbreak of the First World War, resulted in Germany seizing four large destroyers that were being built by Germaniawerft for Argentina (which entered service as the G101-class torpedo boat), and building the eight large B 97-class torpedo boats to take advantage of machinery that was being built by German suppliers for Russia.

[6] Built by the Schichau-Werke in Elbing, Prussia, (now Elbląg, Poland) with the yard number 983, S113 she was launched on 31 January 1918 and completed on 5 August 1918.

[6] S113 was at first retained by Germany after the end of the war,[8] but after the German fleet interned at Scapa scuttled itself on 21 June 1919, Germany was required to hand over more warships and equipment, including S113, to the Allies under the Treaty of Versailles to compensate for the ships scuttled at Scapa.

[10] The Allies decided to transfer 10 destroyers from the ships surrendered from the German and Austro-Hungarian to each of the French and Italian navies to replace wartime losses, with France choosing S113 as part of her allocation.
