Russian Orphey class destroyers, laid down 1915
     Length, 98.0 m x Beam, 9.3 m x Depth, 3.0 m
          1378 tonnes normal displacement (1288 tonnes standard)
     Main battery:       4 x 10.0-cm
     Secondary battery:  1 x  7.6-cm
     AA battery:         4 x  1.3-cm
          Weight of broadside: 62 kg
     9 TT, 45.0 cm
    20 tons depth charges
     Hull unarmored
     Battery armor:
          Main, 2.5 cm shields / secondary, 2.5 cm shields
          
     Maximum speed for 28168 shaft kw = 33.00 knots
          Approximate cruising radius, 1700 nm / 15 knots
     Typical complement: 113-147

                    Estimated cost, $997,000 (£249,000)
          Remarks:
     Caution: Hull structure is subject to strain in open-sea
     conditions.
     Caution: Magazines and engineering spaces are very cramped,
     and lack adequate watertight subdivision.
     Oil firing.
     Ship has slow, easy roll; a good, steady gun platform.
     Good seaboat; rides out heavy weather easily.
