Falcon-class destroyer
The Falcon-class destroyers were a batch of three destroyers, built for the Royal Navy between 1899 and 1901 and serving in the First World War. The destroyers were sometimes referred to as the Falcon-class, after the lead ship of the batch HMS Falcon, however they were officially classified as part of the Gipsy-class.
