Mameluck was a Spahi-class destroyer of the French Navy.
Service history
Tasked with escort duties in the Mediterranean Mameluck assigned to the 1st Squadron in June 1911, and a year later she was assigned to the 2nd Destroyer Squadron, of the 1st Fleet. In March 1913 she was assigned to torpedo squadron patrols and to support submarines in the Adriatic.
During World War I, Mameluck rammed the French destroyer Fantassin in the Ionian Sea on 5 June 1915, so badly damaging Fantassin that the French destroyer Fauconneau consequently scuttled her.
In 1916, Mameluck escorted the submarines Faraday and Le Verrier to Milo. On 14 December 1917, along with Lansquenet, she sank the Imperial German Navy U-boat UC-38 off Cape Ducato in the Ionian Sea after the submarine torpedoed and sunk the French protected cruiser Châteaurenault.
Mameluck was sold for scrap in 1928.
