Latest revision as of 19:24, 12 July 2019

A total of 103 destroyers of the "M" Class were completed, 13 in the 1913-1914 programme and 90 further ships as part of the successive orders of the War Emergency Programme.

They were essentially improved "L" class destroyers with 6 knots more speed, but there was a mix of Admiralty design vessels (79) and a diverse set of builder's specials (22 ships).[1]

The War Emergency Programme ships are often called the Repeat "M" Class, but the distinction between them and the original 13 vessels is largely fiduciary and less important than the design differences attributable to specials and Admiralty design as well as the manic diversity the Royal Navy's ships exhibited even when it intended a uniform class. For this convoluted reason, "Repeat 'M' Class" will be used in a passing manner here, and all 103 ships generally called "M" class destroyers.

Electric Logs

Based on prior recent orders, it seems likely that these ships were completed with two Trident Electric Logs and one Charthouse Receiver.[2]

Machinery

Generators

In 1916, it was stated that "new destroyers" have two 26.25 kw dynamos arranged in parallel.[3] It is possible that this applied to some or all of this class.

Armament

4-in Guns

Their three 4-in Q.F. Mark IV guns on P. IX mountings on the centre line were just as in the preceding "L" class destroyers and the final seven of the Acasta class.[7] There were 120 rounds per gun: 36 common, 84 lyddite, an an additional 19 practice rounds. [8]

The mounting could elevate 20 degrees and depress 10 degrees, but its sight could only elevate 15 degrees and the range dial was actually only graduated to 12.5 degrees (7,900 yards). "This was soon remedied by the supply of additional sight strips graduated to the extreme range of 10,200 yards."[9]

These gear-worked sights had gearing constants of 26.66 and range dials for 2200 fps, and 1-in aiming rifle. MV could be corrected by a cam pointer allowing for a decrease to 2000 fps.

Unlike some P. IX sights, these were not F.T.P. sights.

The midship gun was supplied with ammunition from the forward stores.[10]

The deflection gearing constant was 52.6 with 1 knot equal to 3.18 arc minutes, corresponding to 2200 fps at 2000 yards. Drift was corrected by inclining the sight about pivot pins 2 degrees.

The layer's telescope sight line was 12.5 inches above the bore, and 21.45 inches left. The trainer's telescope sight line was 12.5 inches above and 17.4 inches right. Open sights were 13.3 inches above the bore and 24.35 inches left for layer and 20.3 inches right for trainer.

The sight had a temperature correcting scale plate and a "C" corrector.

The layer had an open sight. The trainer's sight could be used as a free sight with a counterweight.

During the war, some of the ships were required to land their aft gun to accommodate depth charges.[11]

In late September, 1914, the Admiralty ordered that the guns on the Tribals and later classes were to be given loading lights, initially on temporary circuits. By inference, most or all of these ships were probably completed with this equipment in place.[12]

Other Guns

They may have carried one (later two) 1-pdr H.A. guns (later 2-pdr) as well as 4 mines on the upper deck.[13] The first six ships were to complete with H.A. pompoms, and the others to receive theirs as they became available.[14]

By 1920, some or all had one 2-pdr pompom for air defence.[15]

Torpedoes

21-in D.R. [Double Revolving] Torpedo Mounting Mark II[16]
The "M" Class's Mark III was similar, but lacked the guard rails around the training platform, as it was fitted on the centreline.

In 1917, at least some of these ships were using 21-in Mark II**** torpedoes and 21-in Mark II***** torpedoes.[18]

Other Weapons

Depth charges were added to most destroyers, necessitating that some land their aft gun to accommodate the outfit.[19]

Fire Control

Range and Order Instruments[20]

By the end of 1915, at least, these ships had or were to be provided a range and order data system similar recent Barr and Stroud patterns.[21]

The scheme placed the combined transmitter on the forebridge, and a combined receiver near the sightsetter position of each gun. Ranges from 0 to 9900 yards in increments of 100 yards, and orders were "Independent", "Control" and "Fire" with illuminated indicators and a red indicator on the receivers to signal loss of power from the battery pack located below decks.

Mid 1916 Outfit

Experiments from February with two Grand Fleet destroyers employing dumaresqs and Vickers Range Clocks and voicepipes showed definite advantages over ships using unaided spotting and voicepipes, even when the crews had no special training in the new equipment. Tests were also conducted to find a rangefinder suitable to the lively and cramped platform that destroyers provided. This led to an order on 3 April, 1916 that each T.B.D. of "M" class and later should be equipped with:[22][23]

Two ratings, trained before coming aboard, were added to the crew to work the equipment. The clocks and rangefinders were issued in the following three months, and the dumaresqs a few months later. The data instruments did not become available in numbers until 1917. By mid-1917, the whole system was broadly in place in the destroyers of the Grand Fleet and in the Harwich Force.[24]

Directors

The first installations of the British Destroyer Director Firing System in this class were being effected in May 1918.[25]

Torpedo Control

Fire Gong and Lamp Reply Circuits[26]
found in 20 ships using mechanical or pressure gear for orders and deflection

The ships had a single sighting position located high up in the centre of the bridge, which required them to thus have only a single set of firing pushes or keys as well as keys for operating buzzers at the tubes.[27]

Twenty of the ships used pressure and/or mechanical equipment to relay orders and deflections from the control position to the tubes, augmented by fire gong and lamp reply circuits: Manly, Mentor, Mastiff, Matchless, Melpomene, Nereus, Partridge, Milne, Minos, Miranda, Moorsom, Murray, Myngs, Nepean and Radstock used Wise Type C gear for orders and deflection, and Mentor, Meteor, Pasley, Patriot and Morris used Chadburn's Torpedo Order Telegraph with Wise Pressure Telegraphy System Type B supplying deflection.[28]

Electrical Instruments[29]
found in most "M" class destroyers

The majority of the ships, however, used completely electrical systems. These ships employed a single Mark I deflection transmitter at the control position, and separate order transmitters and keys, one for the forward tubes and one for the aft. The forward tubes had a buzzer, and the aft ones had a rattler.[30]

Alterations

By November 1918, Prince and Meteor were fitted to carry 38 mines. The torpedo tubes and guns removed when the mines were shipped could be placed back aboard with enough notice.[31]
