The naming convention for warships in the Tang Empire is actually quite lazy and featureless. Typically, Tang Army warships are only named by their classification, followed by a sequence of numbers.
For instance, the battleships of the Great Tang Empire are named Dongwan 1 and Dongwan 2… It doesn't sound very impressive, even carrying a strong cheap flavor.
The Beiyuan-class destroyers are the most produced type of destroyer by the Great Tang Empire, which, based on the Fletcher-class destroyers, increased the tonnage, improved the blue-water capabilities of the warship, and sacrificed a bit of speed.
From a practical standpoint, the Beiyuan-class is a scaled-up Fletcher, with a tonnage increased to 4500 tons, maintaining crew levels around 400, and without a significant increase in armament.
