The Hawthorn M or Mansfield class were a class of destroyers completed for the Royal Navy during 1915 for World War I service. They were based on the Admiralty M class class to a modified design by Hawthorn Leslie and Company, with 4 funnels instead of 3. The midships 4 in gun was shipped between the 2nd and 3rd funnels. Both ships were laid down in 1914 and survived the war.
