Bullfinch class destroyer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two Bullfinch class destroyers served with the Royal Navy [1]. HMS Bullfinch and HMS Dove were both built by Earle's shipbuilding company in Hull in 1898. They were 345 ton class 'C' type ships, sporting three funnels and capable of 30 knots thanks to their Thornycroft boilers. They were 210 feet long, generated 5,800 HP and carried a full complement of 63 officers and men. They were distinguished from other similar C class boats by their flat sided centre funnels and conspicuous steam pipes. They were armed with the standard twelve pounder and two torpedo tubes and served through the Great War, being broken up after the end of hostilities.
