HMS Seafire was an {{sclass2-|S|destroyer|||1917}} built for the Royal Navy during the First World War.

Description

The S-class destroyers were improved versions of the preceding Modified R class. They displaced {{convert|1075|LT|t|0}}.[2] The ships had an overall length of {{convert|276|ft|m|1}}, a beam of {{convert|26|ft|8|in|m|1}} and a draught of {{convert|9|ft|m|1}}. They were powered by two Brown-Curtis geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by two Yarrow boilers. The turbines developed a total of {{convert|27000|shp|lk=in}} and gave a maximum speed of {{convert|36|kn|lk=in}}. The ships carried a maximum of {{convert|301|LT|t}} of fuel oil that gave them a range of {{convert|2750|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|15|kn}}. The ships' complement was 90 officers and ratings.[3]

Seafire was armed with three QF {{convert|4|in|mm|adj=on|0}} Mark IV guns in single mounts and a single 2-pounder (40 mm) "pom-pom" anti-aircraft gun. The ship was fitted with two twin mounts for {{convert|21|in|adj=on|0}} torpedoes.[2] Two additional single mounts were positioned abreast the bridge at the break of the forecastle for 18-inch (45 cm) torpedoes. All torpedo tubes were above water and traversed to fire.[4]

Construction and career

Seafire was ordered as part of the second batch of the S class and was built by John Brown & Company, Clydebank and launched on 10 August 1918.[1] She saw service during the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War. She was one of the obsolete destroyers handed over to the shipbreakers Ward in part-payment for {{RMS|Majestic|1914|6}} on 14 September 1936, and was then broken up at Inverkeithing.[1]
