Acheron - class destroyer The " Acheron " class ( officially re - designated as the I class in October 1913 ) was a class of twenty - three destroyer s of the British Royal Navy , all built under the 1910 - 11 Programme and completed between 1911 and 1912 , which served during World War I . A further six ships were built to the same design for the Royal Australian Navy as River - class destroyers . There was considerable variation between the design and construction of ships within this class , which should be considered as more of a post - build grouping than a homogeneous class . Design . Originally , 20 ships , including " Acheron " , were ordered , but an additional three were completed by Yarrow & Company . Three River - class destroyers of the Royal Australian Navy were laid down in British yards , with a further three built in Australia . The " Acherons " were generally repeats of the preceding " Acorn " - or H - class , although " Acheron " herself and five others were builders ' specials . They differed from the " Acorn " s in having only two funnels , both of which were short , the foremost being thicker than the after stack . The 12 - pounder guns were mounted slightly further forward than in the " Acorn " s . Variation within the class . Fourteen of the class were completed to an Admiralty standard design , although those built by John Brown and Company at Clydebank ( " Hind " , " Hornet " and " Hydra " ) had Brown - Curtis type turbines and only two shafts . " Archer " and " Attack " used steam at higher pressures and " Badger " and " Beaver " were completed with geared steam turbines for evaluation purposes , achieving speeds of on trials . Thornycroft specials . " Acheron " and " Ariel " were longer ( 77m ) , had higher installed power ( 15 , 500 shp ) and were consequently faster , achieving on trials . Yarrow specials ( or " special I class " ) . Sir Alfred Yarrow maintained that it was possible to build strong , seaworthy destroyers with a speed of , and eventually a contract for three such boats was placed with the firm . They were a little larger than the rest of the class , and developed , but carried the same armament . Like the John Brown - built boats " Hind " , " Hydra " and " Hornet " , they had only 2 shafts , with steam developed in 2 Yarrow - type water - tube boilers and delivered to 2 Parsons turbines . " Firedrake " , " Lurcher " and " Oak " were distinctive in appearance and indeed much faster . They all exceeded their contract speed , " Lurcher " making over . Conversion to minelayers . " Ferret " , " Sandfly " and " Ariel " were converted into fast minelaying destroyers in 1917 , serving with the 20th Flotilla . They were each capable of laying 40 mines . Evaluation . This class of torpedo boat destroyer s ( TBDs , or colloquially , " boats " ) handled well and were excellent sea boats ; like similar classes of TBDs of the time , they had open bridges but were much drier at sea than was the norm .

The " signum " he carried was the military emblem of that unit . It comprised a number of " philarae " ( disks or medallion s ) along with a number of other elements mounted on a pole . The pole could be topped with a leaf - shaped spear head or a " manus " ( open human hand ) image denoting the oath of loyalty taken by the soldiers . It sometimes included a representation of a wreath , probably denoting an honour or award . The task of carrying the " signum " in battle was dangerous as the soldier had to stand in the first rank and could carry only a small buckler . It was this banner that the men from each individual century would rally around . A soldier could also gain the position of " discentes signiferorum " , or standard bearer in training . Signifer as the banker . In addition to carrying the " signum " , the " signifer " also assumed responsibility for the financial administration of the unit and functioned as the legionaries ' banker . He was paid twice the basic wage . Signifer in the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire . In the Roman Republic the term signifer probably applied to all standard bearers , but in the Empire the signifer was just one of a number of types of signiferi , which also included aquilifer s , imaginifer s , duplicarii , vexillarii and draconarii .

The 62 Squadron was then created to operate the Fiat G - 91 . With the reorganization of the Air Force ' s aerial units , in 1978 , the squadron ' s designation was changed to 301 Squadron , thus assigning as its primary mission the execution of operations of close air support ( CAS ) , air interdiction ( IA ) and tactical air reconnaissance , as well as its secondary mission the execution of actions of tactical air support for maritime operations ( TASMO ) and of air defense operations ( DCA ) . On June 27 , 1993 , with the last flight of the Fiat G - 91 in service with the Portuguese Air Force , and the subsequent retirement of this aircraft , as well the recent restructuring of the PoAF , the 301 Squadron was transferred to Air Base 11 , in Beja , having been equipped with the ground - attack aircraft Alpha Jet A .
