Two '''''Bullfinch''-class destroyers''' served with the British [[Royal Navy]];<ref name=BC>{{cite web|url=http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/bullfinch_class.htm|title=''Bullfinch''-class at BattleshipsCruisers.co.uk|accessdate=2009-04-02}}</ref> {{HMS|Bullfinch|1898|2}} and {{HMS|Dove|1898|2}} were both built by Earle's Shipbuilding company in [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]] in 1898.  They were 345-ton class {{sclass2|C|destroyer (1913)|0}} [[destroyers]], sporting three funnels, and capable of a speed of {{convert|30|kn|km/h}}, thanks to their [[Thornycroft boiler]]s.  They were 210 feet long, generated 5,800 HP and carried a full complement of 63 officers and men.  They were distinguished from other similar C-class ships by their flat-sided centre funnels and conspicuous steam pipes.  They were armed with the standard twelve-pounder and two torpedo tubes, and served through the [[World War I|Great War]], being broken up after the end of hostilities.
