==Construction and design==
In early 1916, the British Royal Navy had a requirement for a destroyer leader suitable for leading the new, fast, R-class destroyers. To meet this requirement, the Director of Naval Construction prepared the design of a new class of ships, smaller and cheaper than the existing ''Marksman'' and es, but still capable of accommodating the additional staff required to command the destroyer flotilla and carrying the same armament. Five ships of the new class were ordered in April–July 1916, with ''Valentine'' one of two ships ordered from Cammell Laird in July that year at a tender price of £218,000 per ship.〔Friedman 2009, pp. 160–162.〕〔Gardiner and Gray 1985, p. 82.〕 ''Valentine'' was laid down at Cammell Laird's shipyard in Birkenhead on 7 August 1916, was launched on 24 March 1917 and completed on 27 June 1917.〔Friedman 2009, p. 219.〕
The ship's machinery was based on the of the R-class destroyers,〔Friedman 2009, p. 160.〕 with three Yarrow boilers feeding Brown-Curtiss geared steam turbines which drove two propeller shafts. The machinery generated , giving a design speed of . A maximum of 367 tons of fuel oil could be carried, giving a range of at a speed of .〔
The ship's main gun armament was four 4 inch (102 mm) QF Mk V guns on CP.II mountings, with two mounts forward and two aft in superimposed positions. These guns, which were provided with 120 rounds per gun, could elevate to 30 degrees, allowing them to fire a shell a distance of .〔Preston 1971, pp. 97–98.〕 Anti-aircraft armament consisted of a single 3 inch (76 mm) QF 20 cwt gun, which was preferred to the 2-pounder "Pom-Poms" fitted to previous leaders, while torpedo armament consisted of four 21 inch (53 cm) torpedo tubes in two twin mounts.〔〔Friedman 2009, p. 163.〕
