An Entity of Type: Destroyer, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Brazen class formed part of a general class of forty turtleback destroyers capable of 30 knots built around the end of the 19th and the start of the 20th century for the Royal Navy. The Admiralty had specified the general design and specification of the destroyers but left it to the builders to handle the detail. As a result, although the destroyers were all similarly capable there were differences between them in terms of exact dimensions, type of boiler and engines and the number of funnels. They were seaworthy and well built but suffered from being lively which meant they were uncomfortable in heavy seas. Although specified for 30 knots this was with a light load, and in service 27 knots was normal.
