The Dryad Class torpedo gunboats were the last class of torpedo gunboats (TGBs) built for the Royal Navy. These were rather odd-looking ships, with their two funnels very apart, and unlike their predecessors, they had raised poop as well as raised forecastle. They were only slightly larger and better armed versions of Alarms, sharing their predecessors� weaknesses. They were built at the same time as first destroyers and got immediately put into shade by these smaller but faster vessels.
