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 To the Second World War beginning they absolutely became outdated and were used as training and patrol ships in European waters.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
Naval service: G14 was stricken after boiler explosion 11.9.1919.
G16 was scuttled 14.5.1940 at Den Helder; she was salvaged, repaired and entered German Navy list as torpedo recovery vessel TFA9, BU after war. G13 and G15 in May, 1940 escaped to Britain; 27.12.1940 both were transferred to RN, returned 27.7.1942 and in February, 1943 scrapped.
