History
The re-armament race of the 1930's led to the major powers building destroyers, of up to 2,000 tons. The British answer to these was the super destroyer of the Tribal class. Cossack, with her eight 4.7in guns in twin mountings, was thought by many, to be the best looking of all destroyers ever built. The Altmark incident in the waters off the coast of Norway made Cossack a household name, along with the famous cry of 'The Navy's Here' Others in the class were the Maori, Eskimo, Mashona, Gurkha, Afridi, Tartar, Somali, Beduoin, Ashanti, Punjabi, Matabele and Zulu. These ships displaced 1,960 tons, with geared turbines producing 44,000 SHP, on two shafts, giving a top speed of 36.5 knots.
