Thyella class destroyer

Thyella class destroyer

The Thyella class of destroyers were ordered by the Royal Hellenic Navy before World War I when the Greek government embarked on a naval buildup after losing the Greco-Turkish War of 1897. These four ships were ordered from Britain in 1905 and were among the last vessels built at the Yarrow shipyard at Poplar, London, before its move to the Clyde.

The class consisted of four destroyers: "Lonchi", "Nafkratousa", "Sfendoni I" and "Thyella".
