HMSTurbulent was one of fourTalisman-classdestroyers ordered for theOttoman Navy and taken over by theRoyal Navy during the First World War.

TheTalismans were designed by Armstrong Whitworth for the Ottoman Navy, but were sub-contracted toHawthorn Leslie and Company for building.^[1] Theydisplaced 1,098 long tons (1,116 t). The ships had anoverall length of 309 feet (94.2 m), abeam of 28 feet 7 inches (8.7 m) and adraught of 9 feet 6 inches (2.9 m). They were powered by threeParsons direct-drivesteam turbines, each driving onepropeller shaft, using steam provided by threeYarrow boilers. The turbines developed a total of 25,000shaft horsepower (19,000 kW) and gave a maximum speed of 32knots (59 km/h; 37 mph). The ships carried a maximum of 237 long tons (241 t) offuel oil. The ships' complement was 102 officers andratings.^[2]

TheTalisman-class ships were heavily armed for their time, shipping five singleQF 4-inch (102 mm) Mark IV guns. Two of the guns were side-by-side on theforecastle. The other guns were carried on the centreline; one between the first and second funnels, one after the searchlight platform and one on a bandstand on thequarterdeck. All the guns had half-shields.^[2] The ships were designed to accommodate three above water twin mounts for21-inch (533 mm) torpedoes, but only two mounts were fitted in British service.^[3]

The vessel was originally to have been namedOgre, but was renamed whilst under construction, on 15 February 1915.^[4] She was launched on 5 January 1916 and completed in May 1916.^[5]

She served with the10th Destroyer Flotilla of theGrand Fleet from her completion. She was sunk on 1 June 1916 at theBattle of Jutland by the German cruiserRegensburg and the destroyersV71 andV73.^[6] with the deaths of 90 crew members, and the surviving 13 became prisoners of war.^[7] The wrecksite is designated as aprotected place under theProtection of Military Remains Act 1986.
