fleet.wikisort.org - ShipThe Admiralty type leader, sometimes known as the Scott class, were a class of eight destroyer leaders designed and built for the Royal Navy towards the end of World War I. They were named after Scottish historical leaders. The function of a leader was to carry the flag staff of a destroyer flotilla, therefore they were enlarged to carry additional crew, offices and signalling equipment, allowing a fifth gun to be carried. These ships were contemporary with the Thornycroft type leader, distinguishable by their two narrow funnels of equal height, the Thornycroft designs latter having characteristic broad, slab-sided funnels.

All except Mackay and Malcolm were completed in time for wartime service, Scott being a war loss. The two final orders – Barrington and Hughes – were cancelled with the end of the War; these two had originally been ordered to the Thornycroft leader design. Stuart was transferred to Australia in 1933. All the remaining ships except Bruce (expended as a target ship in 1939) survived service in World War II, being converted to escort ships. Montrose and Stuart had Brown-Curtis steam turbines, giving 43,000 shp (32,000 kW) for an extra ½ knot.

- [en] Admiralty type flotilla leader
[ru] Лидеры эскадренных миноносцев типа «Скотт»
Лидеры типа «Скотт»(лидеры Адмиралтейского типа). Британские лидеры эскадренных миноносцев, разработанные и построенные для ВМС к концу Первой мировой войны были названы в честь шотландских кланов. На лидере размещался штаб миноносной флотилии, поэтому они были увеличены для размещения дополнительного экипажа, штаба и сигнального оборудования. Эти корабли были очень похожи на лидеры типа Шекспир, но те имели широкие трубы конструкций Thornycroft, а Адмиралтейский тип имел две узкие трубы одинаковой высоты. Лидеры назывались по-шотландски. На «Монтроузе» и «Стюарте» были применены паровые турбины Brown-Curtis, мощностью 43 000 л. с. (32 000 кВт), поэтому их максимальный ход больше на ½ узла.
