HMS Lydiard was a Шаблон:Sclass built for the Royal Navy during the 1910s.

Description

The Laforey class were improved and faster versions of the preceding Шаблон:Sclass.[1] They displaced Шаблон:Convert. The ships had an overall length of Шаблон:Convert, a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a draught of Шаблон:Convert. Lydiard was powered by two Brown-Curtis direct-drive steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by four Yarrow boilers.[2] The turbines developed a total of Шаблон:Convert and gave a maximum speed of Шаблон:Convert. The ships carried a maximum of Шаблон:Convert of fuel oil that gave them a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert. The ships' complement was 74 officers and ratings.[3]

The ships were armed with three single [[QF 4 inch naval gun Mk IV, XII, XXII|QF Шаблон:Convert Mark IV guns]] and two QF 1.5-pounder (37 mm) anti-aircraft guns. These latter guns were later replaced by a pair of QF 2-pounder (40 mm) "pom-pom" anti-aircraft guns. The ships were also fitted with two above-water twin mounts for [[British 21-inch torpedo|Шаблон:Convert torpedoes]].[3]

Construction and service

The ship was ordered as Waverley from Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company as part of the 1912–13 programme, but was renamed Lydiard before being launched on 26 February 1914. She served with the 3rd Destroyer Flotilla, and fought at the Battle of Heligoland Bight in 1914, where she was credited with torpedoing the German light cruiser Шаблон:Ship.

Lydiard also took part in the Battle of Jutland in 1916, where she formed part of the 9th Destroyer Flotilla, along with her sister ships Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS,[4] supporting Admiral Beatty's battlecruisers. She was transferred to escort duties after 1917, and sold for breaking in November 1921.
