3 Banshee class destroyers served with the Royal Navy. They were all built by Laird, displaced 290 tons and were armed with one twelve pounder and two torpodo tubes. They carried a complement of 35 officers and men. HMS Dragon (1894), HMS Banshee (1894) and HMS Contest (1894) were all disposed of shortly before World War I.
