  • The A class as designated in 1913 was a heterogeneous group of torpedo boat destroyers (TBDs) built for the Royal Navy in the mid-1890s. Some 42 vessels were constructed to the individual designs of their builders to meet Admiralty specifications, the only uniting feature being a specified top speed of 27 knots (50 km/h). In fact the initial six vessels were generally differentiated by a slightly lower speed and were often referred to as "26-knotters" to distinguish them from the following batch of thirty-six vessels; all fifteen surviving "27-knotter" vessels were classified by the Admiralty as the A class in 1913 to provide some system to the naming of HM destroyers. All of the "26-knotters" and most of the "27-knotters" had been lost or scrapped before the 1913 classification (and so - strictly speaking - never survived to become 'A' class), but for convenience all 42 ships are listed below. The number of funnels varied from one to four. All vessels had a distinctive "turtleback" forecastle that was intended to clear water from the bow, but actually tended to dig the bow in to anything of a sea, resulting in a very wet conning position. They generally displaced around 260 tons and had a length of around 200 feet (61 m). All were powered by triple expansion steam engines and had coal-fired water-tube boilers (although initially, some had "locomotive type" fire-tube boilers in lieu). Armament was generally one QF 12 pounder on a bandstand on the forecastle, up to five QF 6 pounder and 2 single tubes for 18-inch (457 mm) torpedoes. The six 1892-93 Programme ships initially had a third tube in the bow, fixed to fire straight ahead, but this was found to weigh down the bows and it was possible for the ship to run over its own torpedo when moving at high speed, so these were later removed and this feature was not repeated in later vessels.

  • La classe A fu un gruppo eterogeneo, creato nel 1913, di cacciatorpediniere costruiti per la Royal Navy alla metà degli anni 90 del XIX secolo. 42 unità furono costruite con progetti individuali dei singoli costruttori per sottostare a specifiche dell'Ammiragliato, accomunate solo dalla velocità teorica di progetto di 27 nodi. In realtà le prime sei unità furono leggermente più lente e sono spesso chiamate "26-knotters" per distinguerle dalle seguenti 36 unità. Nel 1913 tutte le rimanenti 15 navi di questo tipo furono nominate classe A per dare un senso alla nomenclatura delle classi di cacciatorpediniere. Tutte le "26-knotters" e la maggior parte delle "27-knotters" erano già state radiate o perse prima del 1913, ma per semplicità sono trattate tutte e 42 le unità. Il numero di fumaioli variava tra uno e quattro nei differenti modelli. Tutte le unità ebbero un distintivo castello di prua a dorso di tartaruga che era pensato per liberare la parte prodiera dall'acqua, ma in realtà tendeva a far entrera la prua in qualsiasi onda, portando acqua verso la plancia. In generale ebbero un dislocamento di circa 260 t e una lunghezza attorno ai 61 m. Tutti i modelli furono propulsi da motori a vapore a triplice espansione e ebbero caldaie a tubi d'acqua a carbone (anche se inizialmente alcune unità ebbero caldaie a tubi di fumo). L'armamento consisteva generalmente in un su un palco sul castello di prua, fino a cinque cannoni a fuoco rapido da 6 lb (Hotchkiss 57 mm) e due tubi lanciasiluri singoli da 457 mm. Le navi e inizialmente ebbero un terzo tubo nella prua, fisso e con tiro diritto, ma questo si rivelò sovraccaricare le prue ed era possibile che le unità passassero sopra il loro stesso siluro se usato ad alta velocità. Per queste motivazioni i tubi prodieri furono in seguito rimossi e mai più inseriti in progetti seguenti. (it)
