S - class destroyer ( 1916 ) The S class were a class of 67 destroyer s built from 1917 for the Royal Navy . The design was based on the Admiralty modified R class and all ships had names beginning with S or T . They were built in three discrete groups ; the Admiralty S class comprised 55 vessels ( excluding two that were cancelled ) built in two batches that were ordered in May and June 1917 respectively , while seven vessels were built to a distinct design by Yarrow and five more to another distinct design by Thornycroft . All ships had two funnels , a long fo ' c ' sle and a tall bridge which , unusually , was located " behind " the break in the main deck . Most of these ships were commissioned after World War I , but only eleven survived to serve in World War II . The remainder were scrapped in the mid - to - late 1930s , in order to comply with the limit on total destroyer tonnage imposed by the London Treaty of 1930 . Admiralty S - class ships . 24 vessels were ordered in April 1917 . 33 vessels were ordered in June 1917 . Thornycroft S - class ships . These five vessels were built to Thornycroft ' s own design ; they were slightly larger than the Admiralty design and had engines of 29 , 000 shp . The first two were ordered in April 1917 and the last three in June 1917 . Yarrow S - class ships . These seven vessels were built to Yarrow ' s own design ; they were slightly smaller than the Admiralty design and had engines of only 23 , 000 shp . All ordered in April 1917 ; the orders for " Torch " and " Tomahawk " replaced previous orders for two Admiralty W - class destroyers previously ordered from Yarrow in December 1917 ( " Wayfarer " and " Woodpecker " ) . Their design was weakened in order to optimize speed , which explains the early disposal of these vessels . Australian ships . Five of the above Admiralty S class were transferred to the Royal Australian Navy in June 1919 . The ships were all commissioned on 27 January 1920 although they spent much of their careers in reserve . None of these ships served in World War II , having been scrapped in 1937 . Canadian ships . Two of the Thornycroft S class were transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy in March 1928 . Neither of these ships served in World War II , having been scrapped in 1937 .

Jacob Smith Jarmann Jacob Smith Jarmann ( May 30 , 1816 – March 29 , 1894 ) was a Norwegian firearms designer and inventor of the Jarmann rifle . Biography . Jarmann was born in Gudbrandsdalen at Nord - Fron , in Oppland County , Norway . He developed an interest in firearms at an early age , and he designed his first rifle — a breech loading rifle firing cardboard cartridges — in 1838 , but this was turned down by the armed forces at the time . The logic was that a rifle capable of firing 13 shots a minute would be impossible to supply with enough ammunition . In the 1870s he stepped down from the daily running of his workshop to work on his newly invented bolt action rifle . This rifle , the Jarmann , was adopted by the Norwegian Army in 1884 . The weapon was produced at the Kongsberg Weapon Factory ( " Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk " ) . Jarmann was appointed a Knight of the Order of St . Olav and made a member of the Order of Vasa It was , perhaps , fitting that he died in 1894 , the same year his rifle was phased out of the service and replaced with the Krag - Jørgensen . After the Jarmann was phased out of military use some of the weapons were converted into whaling harpoons .
