Spiteful-class destroyer
text:
Two Spiteful-class destroyers served with the Royal Navy. These ships were both built by Palmers Shipbuilding and Iron Company Limited at Jarrow, and were part of the group of boats known as the 'thirty knotters'. Concern about the higher speeds of foreign boats had prompted the Admiralty to order new destroyers capable of 30 knots, rather than the 27-knot requirement which had been standard. The boats were not able to make this speed in bad weather, where they were usually wet and uncomfortable
