Four destroyers of the Talisman Class were completed for the Turkish Navy but taken up for Royal Navy service in the war.
They were large, with five 4-in Q.F. guns, making them more like a Flotilla Leader when in Royal Navy service.

Other Weapons
Depth charges were added to most of the "M" class destroyers, necessitating that some land their aft gun to accommodate the outfit.[1] This may apply here.
Fire Control
By the end of 1915, at least, these ships had or were to be provided a range and order data system similar recent Barr and Stroud patterns.[3]
The scheme placed the combined transmitter on the forebridge, and a combined receiver near the sightsetter position of each gun. Ranges from 0 to 9900 yards in increments of 100 yards, and orders were "Independent", "Control" and "Fire" with illuminated indicators and a red indicator on the receivers to signal loss of power from the battery pack located below decks.
