Three Conflict class destroyers served with the Royal Navy. There were built by the White Shipyard. Conflict, Teazer, and Wizard were 200 feet long, displaced 320 tons and produced 4,500 H.P. from their White-Forster boilers to give them a top speed of 27 knots. They were armed, as was standard with ships of this type at the time, with one twelve pounder gun, two torpedo tubes and had a complement of 53 officers and men.
