==Design and Construction==

* four QF 5.2-in Mark I guns in two unarmoured turrets, 100 rounds per gun
* six 21-in torpedo tubes forward

==Service==
Construction was overseen by [[Robert Henry Taunton Raikes]], who was appointed to the vessel on 11 December, 1922{{NLJan23|p. 846-898}}.

She paid off on 23 January, 1924, which seems odd, as she had not yet been commissioned; perhaps 1926 was intended.{{NLFeb26|p. 291}}

On 29 January, 1925, [[Philip Esmonde Phillips]] was appointed, to assume command when the vessel finally commissioned later that year.<ref>Phillips Service Record.  {{TNA|ADM 196/51/173.|D7604928}} f. 184.</ref>{{NLFeb29|p. 291}}

Reduced to one-third crew on 9 February, 1931.{{NLJan33|p. 294}}
