De ces métiers, la classe River, qui prend theirname du fait que tous les navires sont nominés après les plus petits cours d'eau du Royaume-Uni, ont été ajoutés à la Marine pendant la période 1903-1905. Bien qu'ils ne soient pas exactement soeurs, ils font partie d'un type très similaire, variant dans dispacementde 500 à 600 tonnes. Ils sont donc considérés comme étant plus grands que bon nombre des personnes âgées

The Royal Navy . built in pairs. Theyrange in size from 2700 to 2940 tons, carry anarmament of ten 12-pounder Q.F. guns, and havea speed of over 25 knots. Ocean-going Destroyers.^ 34 River class. ^7 Afridi class.1 Swift class. Of these craft, the River class, which take theirname from the fact that all the ships are namedafter the smaller streams of the United Kingdom, were added to the Navy during the period of 1903-1905. Whilst not being exactly sisters, they areof a very similar type, varying in displacementfrom 500 to 600 tons. They are thus considerablylarger than many of the old-type destroyers, and, though nominally less speedy, can run much closerto their maximum in a seaway than can the earlierships. They are easily distinguishable from theolder type of destroyers, which are grouped withthe coastal destroyers, for in lieu of the turtle-back 1 Five more craft of this type are provided for in NavalEstimates, 1907-8. 2 These are not officially termed ocean-going.

As with the River class, thesevessels are not all sisters. In them the displace-ments run from 765 to 893 tons. As typical ofthe two tj^es, and showing the development thathas within the last few years taken place in theocean-going destroyer, the following figures are ofinterest:— Name. Length. Beam. Draught.

Ofthe above vessels, the River class are armed preciselyas were their predecessors, the old-type destroyer, —that is, with one 12-pounder and five 6-pounders.In the Afridi class the 6-pounders are done awaywith,
