Violet class destroyer

Violet class destroyer

Violet class destroyer was a 'class' of two destroyers that served in the Royal Navy [http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/violet_class.htm] . HMS Violet (1897) and HMS Sylvia (1897) were built by Doxford and sons in Sunderland. They were fitted with Thornycroft boilers which generated 6,300 HP and produced the 30 knots demanded of these three funnelled 'C' class destroyers. They were armed with the standard twelve pounder and two torpedo tubes and carried a complement of 63 officers and men. Both ships served through the Great War and were broken up shortly afterwards.
