Violet class destroyer was a 'class' of two destroyers that served in the Royal Navy.[1]
Violet and Sylvia were built by Doxford and sons in Sunderland. They were fitted with Thornycroft boilers which generated 6,300 HP and produced the 30 knots (56 km/h) demanded of these three funnelled C-class destroyers. They were armed with the standard twelve pounder and two torpedo tubes and carried a complement of 63 officers and men.
Both ships served through the Great War and were broken up shortly afterwards.
