Designed as a the ship to replace the Destructive class in production, the Fantastic Class incorperated several improvments that improved the overall qualities of design. The forcastle was raised to improve there seakeeping quality, greatly improving the ability for the design to maintain speed in a seaway over the "turtleback" of the earlyer designs. The design also added a aditional 12lber gun in place of the aft 6lber on the Destructives. Overall, the design was considered a great improvment on a minimal increase in displaement.

Note:Trial Speed: 27.75 knts

Notes: Torpedo armament of four 18" single shot torpedo tubes, two on each beam.
