Sagaïe was a Arquebuse-class destroyer contre-torpilleur d'escadre built for the French Navy in the first decade of the 20th century.

They carried enough coal to give them a range of 2,300 nautical miles (4,300 km; 2,600 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph).

They were fitted with two single rotating mounts for 381-millimeter (15 in) torpedo tubes on the centerline, one between the funnels and the other on the stern.

[1] Sagaïe (Assegai) was ordered from Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerranée on 7 November 1900 and the ship was laid down the following year at its shipyard in Graville-Le Havre.

[4] Before the First World War began in August 1914, Sagaïe was assigned to the special reserve of the 2nd Light Squadron (2e escadre légère)[5] based at Cherbourg.
