Three Conflict-class destroyers served with the Royal Navy. They were built by the White Shipyard. Conflict, Teazer, and Wizard were 200 feet (61 m) long, displaced 320 tons and produced 4,500 hp (3,400 kW) from their White-Forster boilers to give them a top speed of 27 knots (50 km/h; 31 mph). 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.
