Revision as of 21:33, 8 November 2012
A total of 62 destroyers of the "R" Class were completed in 1916-1917 as part of the War Emergency Programme.
There was a mix of Admiralty design vessels (39) and a diverse set of builder's specials (12 ships). Feedback on the performance of the early units led to the final 11 being adapted into the Modified "R" Class, which had slightly different armament, a bridge placed further aft, and an altered arrangement of boiler rooms that permitted two of the the three funnels to be trunked together.[1]

Performance
The ships' capacity for 300 tons of fuel, delivered the following endurance.[2]
The Modified "R" delivered much the same endurance. It's actually surprising that someone thought it worthwhile documenting them separately, given the variance between individual ships.

Machinery
Generators
In 1916, it was stated that "new destroyers" have two 26.25 kw dynamos arranged in parallel.[3] It is likely that this applied to this class.
Armament
4-in Guns
Three 4-in Q.F. Mark IV guns on P. IX mountings, as in the preceding "M" class destroyers.
While the 51 "R" class ships had three 4-in Q.F. Mark IV guns on P. IX mountings as in the preceding "M" class destroyers, the eleven modified "R" class ships had three 4-in Q.F. Mark V guns on C.P. II mountings capable of 30 degree elevation, increasing extreme range by 20%.[4]
Other Guns
By 1920, some or all had one 2-pdr pom-pom for air defence.[5]
Torpedoes
Other Weapons
Fire Control
Alterations
By November 1918, those ships operating with the Twentieth Destroyer Flotilla, Telemachus, Tarpon and {UK-Venturous}}, were fitted to carry 44 mines. The torpedo tubes and guns removed when the mines were shipped could be placed back aboard with enough notice.[6]
