Under the 1893–1894 Naval Estimates, the British Admiralty placed orders for 36 torpedo-boat destroyers, all to be capable of 27 knots (50 km/h; 31 mph), the "27-knotters", as a follow-on to the six prototype "26-knotters" ordered in the previous 1892–1893 Estimates.

As was typical for torpedo craft at the time, the Admiralty left detailed design to the builders, laying down only broad requirements.

[1][2] Conflict, Teazer, and Wizard were 200 feet (61 m) long, displaced 320 tons and produced 4,500 hp (3,400 kW) from their White-Forster boilers to give them a top speed of 27 knots (50 km/h; 31 mph).

They were armed, as was standard with ships of this type at the time, with one twelve pounder gun, two torpedo tubes and had a complement of 53 officers and men.
