Project history: Hyderabad was designed specially for service as a decoy vessel. She possessed many unique and elaborate features: unusually shallow draught, tilting gun mountings and collapsible deck structures used to conceal weapons. Twin screws were set in tunnels in the aft part of the hull and a false rudder-top that visible above water suggested a deep draught.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: No significant events.
