Two Mermaid-class destroyers served with the Royal Navy during the First World War.[2] They were three-funnelled turtle-backed destroyers with the usual Hawthorn funnel tops. Built in 1896–1898, {{HMS|Mermaid|1898|2}} and {{HMS|Cheerful|1897|2}} were launched by R. & W. Hawthorn, Leslie & Company from their Hebburn-on-Tyne shipyard.

Their Thornycroft boilers produced 6,100 hp to given them the required {{convert|30|kn|km/h}} and they were armed with the standard 12-pounder gun and two torpedo tubes. They carried a complement of 63 officers and men. In 1913 the pair - like all other surviving three-funnelled destroyers of the "30-knotter" group - were reclassed as {{sclass2-|C|destroyer|1||1913}}s. The almost identical {{Sclass-|Greyhound|destroyer|0}} ships built subsequently at the same yard differed only by having Yarrow boilers.
