I have removed the reference to these two Laird destroyers being identical to the succeeding Banshee class. The Laird Banshee class was significantly enlarged from Laird's first Ferret class. I also removed the reference to the 1913 reclassification as the "A" Class destroyers, since all six of these first six destroyers has been disposed of by the end of 1912.
