Design and description
The Acorn class marked a return to oil-firing as pioneered in the Tribal or F class of 1905 and Шаблон:HMS of 1907. The Admiralty provided general specifications, but each shipyard did their own detailed design so that ships often varied in size.[1] The Acorns had an overall length of Шаблон:Convert, a beam of Шаблон:Convert, and a deep draught of Шаблон:Convert. The ships displaced Шаблон:Convert at deep load and their crew numbered 72 officers and ratings.[2]
The destroyers were powered by a single Parsons steam turbine that drove three propeller shafts using steam provided by four Yarrow boilers. The engines developed a total of Шаблон:Convert and were designed for a speed of Шаблон:Convert. Comet reached a speed of Шаблон:Convert from Шаблон:Cvt during her sea trials.[3] The Acorns had a range of Шаблон:Convert at a cruising speed of Шаблон:Convert.[2]
The primary armament of the ships consisted of a pair of [[BL 4 inch naval gun Mk VIII|BL Шаблон:Convert MK VIII guns]] in single, unprotected pivot mounts fore and aft of the superstructure. They were also armed with two single [[QF 12 pounder 12 cwt naval gun|QF 12-pounder (Шаблон:Convert) guns]], one on each broadside between the forward and centre funnels. The destroyer were equipped with a pair of single rotating mounts for 21-inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes amidships and carried two reload torpedoes.[4]
Construction and career
Comet was ordered under the 1909–1910 Naval Programme from Fairfield Shipbuilding & Engineering Company. The ship was laid down at the company's Govan shipyard on 1 February 1910, launched on 23 June and commissioned in June 1911. She was torpedoed and sunk on 6 August 1918.[5]
