Ship project history: The improved variant of L type destroyers. Destroyers were built by various yards and had differences in appearance. So, Mansfield, Mentor, Mastiff, Meteor, Miranda, Minos, Manly, Moon, Morning Star, Mauncey, Musketeer, Nerissa, Relentless and Rival were equipped with two-shafts machinery and first two were four-funnelled.
Modernizations: Some destroyers after commission: + 2 - 356 TT (beam).
Naval service: Marmion collided with destroyer Tirade off Lerwick, Mary Rose was sunk by German cruisers Brummer and Bremse off Norwegian coast, Negro collided with leader Hoste in North sea, and Nessus with cruiser Amphitrite in North sea. Nomad and Nestor were lost in action at Jutland. North Star was sunk by gunfire of German ships at Zeebrugge. Partridge was a victim of German destroyers off Norwegian coast. Pheasant was mined off Orkneys. Opal and Narbrough wrecked off Scapa Flow. Narwhal collided with other ship, stood afloat but never repaired and sold.
