Twelve destroyers of the Tribal Class (sometimes called Tribal Group, owing to greater diversity in detail than normal) were ordered in three installments as part of the 1905-1906, 1906-1907 and 1907-1908 Naval Programmes.
Armament
Guns
Two 4-in BL Mk IV (except Afridi, Cossack, Ghurka, Mohawk, and Tartar, which carried three 12-pdr 12cwt QF)
Torpedoes
Two single 18-in tubes on the centre line.
Fire Control
By 1915, at least, these ships had fixed voice pipes installed between decks with the last lengths being flexible (one voice pipe for gunnery, one for torpedoes) fitted between bridge and guns, torpedo tubes, and searchlights. A third voicepipe, entirely flexible, ran from bridge to the forward gun.[1]
