80: 33: 369:(21,000–25,000 kW). Two designs were offered to the Admiralty, who required prototypes for subsequent destroyer construction. Thornycroft's "A" design used the maximum length allowed (310 ft between perpendiculars). The "B" design—which was adopted—reduced the length by 5 ft (1.5 m), using only one boiler room forward (as in their wartime 419:
