Sort of a British Fubuki class: GB/DD/1927

This has turned out to be sort of a British answer to the Fubuki class, except that there is not the super torpedo armament (perhaps the next version should have that). The armament has not changed, but the speed is now 37 knots. The range is also increased to 4,750nm, but only at 12 knots. This is the Springsharp report:
