H.M.S."AFRIDI"
Destroyer,  Tribal Class
The new vessels of this class differ entirely
from the pre-War  Tribals, and represent
a notable development in destroyer design.
Sixteen vessels are included in this class. The
Afridi, which was completed in 1938, is fitted
as a Flotilla Leader, though not officially
classed as one. Vessels of this class displace
1,870 tons, and mount eight 4-7-inch guns in
twin turrets, besides smaller weapons, but
carry only four torpedo tubes. Gun power
thus exceeds the torpedo armament. With
their high speed of 36-5 knots on 44,000 h.p.,
it would seem that they are intended to
engage enemy destroyers rather than to pur-
sue normal destroyer tactics with the torpedo.
The vessels of this class have a normal com-
plement of 190, but this is increased to 219
when the ship is acting as a Flotilla Leader.
