Project history

Further development of Yarrow designs (Hydra and Ophir classes), differed by good seaworthiness for their dimensions: that was reached thanks to presence of a high forecastle. To the Second World War beginning they absolutely became outdated and were used as training and patrol ships in European waters.

Modernizations

1930s, G13, 15, 16: + 2 x 1 - 12.7/90
