WoWs Destroyer G-101

Overview

In 1910 and 1912, Argentina ordered several modern destroyers, some of which were built at the German shipyards of Germaniawerft and Schichau. With the outbreak of World War I, however, the ships were requisitioned and assigned to the 2nd Destroyer Division of the German Navy. SMS G-101, originally laid down as ARA Santiago, entered service in March 1915. The following year, along with the other destroyers of her series, she participated in the Battle of Jutland. After the end of World War I, the ships were interned in Scapa Flow.
