mouth steam reserve has resulted in the discovery
that several of that class are unfitted for further
service.

with four of the heaviest guns of the service, and
will carry chase guns at her bows. Special atten-
tion is to be directed to her buoyancy and rate of
speed. Her length will be 225 ft., breadth 45ft.,
and mean draught of water 201 t.

under full boiler power; gave a mean speed of
10.897 knots per hour.
