Van Galen, 1942

The N-class destroyers were repeats of the J-class, except that they incorporated the wartime modifications made to the earlier ships. They displaced Шаблон:Convert at standard load and Шаблон:Convert at deep load. The ships had an overall length of Шаблон:Convert, a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a deep draught of Шаблон:Convert. They were powered by Parsons geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by two Admiralty three-drum boilers. The turbines developed a total of Шаблон:Convert and gave a maximum speed of Шаблон:Convert. The ships carried enough fuel oil to give them a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert. Their complement was 183 officers and ratings.[2]

The main armament of the N-class ships were six 4.7-inch (120 mm) Mark XII guns in three twin-gun mounts, two superfiring in front of the bridge and one aft of the superstructure. The rear torpedo tube mount was replaced by a single [[QF 4 inch Mk V naval gun|QF Шаблон:Convert Mk V]] anti-aircraft gun. Their light anti-aircraft suite consisted of one quadruple mount for [[QF 2 pounder naval gun|2-pounder Шаблон:Cvt guns]], four single [[Oerlikon 20 mm cannon|Шаблон:Convert Oerlikon guns]] and two twin mounts for [[Vickers .50 machine gun|Vickers Шаблон:Cvt]] anti-aircraft machineguns. The N-class ships were fitted with one above-water quintuple mount for [[British 21 inch torpedo|Шаблон:Convert torpedoes]][3] and two depth charge throwers and one rack for 45 depth charges.[2]
