Project history: The first 5 destroyers were 26-knotters with an armament of 3-450mm TT (one fixed bow tube, two single deck tubes), 1 76mm and 3 57mm. This was the armament carried, but provision was made for landing the two deck tubes and replacing them by an extra 2 57mm if they were to be used entirely for anti-torpedo boat work. All these destroyers had twin shafts and triple expansion engines, though the Thornycroft boats had a special four cylinder triple expansion design. Havock was the only destroyer with locomotive boilers, and with this well-tried installation she could therefore be completed before the others, the first destroyer. She had only two funnels very close together whilst Hornet with water-tube boilers had four.
Modernizations: 1900, Havock: was re-boilered with 3 Yarrow water-tube boilers (3800hp, 26kts); - 1 - 450 TT (without spare torpedoes)
1905: - 2 x 1 - 450 TT; + 2 x 1 - 57/40 6pdr Hotchkiss Mk I
Naval service: No significant events.
