    M. J. Dodgson
    HMS
    Mohawk
    was one of twelve
    Tribal
    class ocean going torpedo boat destroyers ordered in three groups between 1905 and 1908
    .
    They were originally to have been turbine- engined developments of the previous
    River
    class of TBDs, but on the intervention of the then new First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir John Fisher, this scheme was scrapped and a new directive for the design was issued. Utilising experience gained from the trials of three special turbine-engined destroyers, HMS
    Viper, Cobra
    and
    Ve/ox
    (the results of
    Viper
    being very encouraging with a speed of 37 knots being reached on one trial run) the
    Tribals
    were to be the first class of warships to be built with turbine engines
    .
    Admiral Fisher directed that they
    should not only be capable of 33 knots but burn fuel oil instead of coal; this was truly revolutionary. Firms tendering for their construction certainly had some difficult problems to overcome to design and construct such advanced ships, for the use of marine turbines and oil boiler-firing were in their infancy at that time.
