The Sabers, or "S" class destroyers, were completed in 1918.  Very modern when completed, with such refinements as enclosed gun mounts, they were obsolete by the start of the Pacific War.  Some were converted to minelayers, while others were relegated to convoy escort duty, for which their speed and armament were adequate. Those sent to the Far East were probably all fitted for minelaying, but otherwise were little modernized and likely lacked even rudimentary radar.

The design speed of 36 knots was never reached in builder's trials. Their speed by 1942 was probably significantly less than 33 knots.
