Beagle class destroyer

From Free net encyclopedia

The Beagle class was a class of sixteen destroyers of the Royal Navy launched in 1909 or 1910. The class was also known as the Basilisk-class and officially the G-class but as another G-class of destroyers was created in the 1930s, Beagle-class is the name now commonly used.

Many of the Beagles served during the Dardanelles Campaign of 1915.

The destroyers were coal-fired and were obsolete by the end of the First World War so that the surviving ships were all scrapped by 1921.
