They were virtually identical to the Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities". built a couple of years earlier by the same company, except that they used a different type of water-tube boiler; Yarrow rather than Thornycroft.[2] These four boilers produced 6,100 hp to given them the required thirty knots and they were armed with the standard 12-pounder guns and two torpedo tubes. They carried a complement of 63 officers and men. In 1913 the three - like all other surviving three-funnelled destroyers of the "30-knotter" group - were re-classed as C-class destroyers.
