Surly

HMS Surly of the 27 knotter class


Description[]

This is the oldest class of destroyer still serving in the Royal Navy. With the rise of the steam turbine, these ships with their triple-expansion became obsolete earlier than expected. They now mainly serve as patrol vessels in home waters.
