From Wikipedia.
After 1913, they were redesignated the E-Class of destroyers. They saw extensive use during World War I These destroyers were different from previous ones as more emphasis was placed on seaworthiness instead of high speed in good weather. All were named for British rivers, including the HMS Garry which I wrote about in the last two posts.
They were from 221 to 233 feet long, crewed by 70, capable of doing 25.5 knots and mounted one 12-pdr. and five 6-pdr. guns and had two torpedo tubes.
All of them were broken up after the war.
