Ship project history: Development of previous "I" class or "K" class with twin TTs. Destroyers were built by various yards and outwardly significantly differed from each other (in particular, Laurel, Liberty, Lark, Landrail, Laverock and Linnet had 3 boilers instead of 4 and two funnells. Ardent had two funnells and 4 boilers).
Modernizations: 1917, all but Lawford and Legion: can not carry mines.
1917, Lawford, Legion: were converted to carry new "H" type mines.
Naval service: Laforey was mined in English Channel, Lassoo was mined or torpedoed by German submarine off Maass lightship. Louis was wrecked in Dardanelles (Suvla Bay) and demolished by Turkish coastal artillery.
