As a result of ongoing weight and space-saving developments, this class returned to the smaller dimensions of the "A" class but with a larger beam to allow for one single and one double boiler room. They carried two DC throwers and one rack for 20 DC's, and a prototype of quintuple tubes was fitted to the Glowworm although bunkering had to be reduced to alllow for it. The leader had a Yarrow side-fired boiler and so was actually 13 feet shorter although again beamier. All carried a tripod masts fore and aft. All surviving units (not Grenville and Gipsy) replaced the after tubes with a 12 pound AA gun, lost the mainmast, carried AW type 286 RDF on the foremast and had the after funnel shortened. Garland and Griffin, the only survivors replaced "Y" gun with more DC throwers and stowage, had the multiple MG's removed, four 20mm Oerlikon cannons added.

On 3.V.1940 ship was loaned to the Polish Navy. In the courtesy gest, traditional, in the Royal Navy, name of the ship was kept.
