The S class were a class of 67 destroyers built from 1917 for the Royal Navy during the First World War. The design was based on the Admiralty modified R class and all ships had names beginning with S or T. They were built in three discrete groups; the Admiralty S class comprised 55 vessels (excluding two that were cancelled) built in two batches that were ordered in May and June 1917 respectively, while seven vessels were built to a distinct design by Yarrow and five more to another distinct design by Thornycroft. All ships had two funnels, a long fo'c'sle and a tall bridge which, unusually, was located ''behind'' the break in the main deck. Most of these ships were commissioned after World War I, but only eleven survived to serve in World War II. The remainder were scrapped in the mid-to-late 1930s, in order to comply with the limit on total destroyer tonnage imposed by the London Naval Treaty of 1930. ==Admiralty S-class ships== 24 vessels were ordered in April 1917. *''Sabre'', built by Alexander Stephen and Sons, Linthouse, Govan, laid down 10 September 1917, launched 23 September 1918, and completed 9 November 1918.
