Violet and Sylvia were built by William Doxford & Sons in Sunderland.[2] They were fitted with Thornycroft boilers which generated 6,300 HP and produced the 30 knots (56 km/h) demanded of these three funnelled C-class destroyers. They were armed with the standard 12-pounder gun and two torpedo tubes, and carried a complement of 63 officers and men.
Both ships served through the Great War and were broken up shortly afterwards.
