Star class destroyer

Star class destroyer was a class of six destroyers that served in the Royal Navy [http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/star_class.htm] . HMS Star (1896), HMS Whiting (1896), HMS Bat (1896), HMS Crane (1896), HMS Chamois (1896) and HMS Flying Fish (1897) were all three funnelled 'C' class destroyers, as designated in the reorganisaton of classes in 1913. HMS Chamois foundered in 1904; the other ships served during the Great War and were broken up in 1919.

They were built by Palmer's shipbuilding company, were 215 feet long and displaced 360 tons. Their Reed boilers produced 5,900 HP which gave them 30 knots. They were armed, as was standard, with one 12-pounder gun and two torpedo tubes. They carried a complement of 63 officers and men. The boats had funnel caps and the steam pipes of the middle funnel were not in the centre line. They served in the Mediterranean and home waters.
