The '''Thornycroft Modified W class''' were a private design by [[John I. Thornycroft & Company Limited|Thornycroft]] based on the Thornycroft V and W class to Admiralty specifications. These two ships were ordered in January 1918, at the same time as the first batch of '''Modified W class'''. In these two ships, the position of the boiler rooms was reversed, with the two-boiler room forward and the single unit aft. As a result, the funnel arrangements were transposed, with the thick funnel forwards and the narrow funnel aft. In common with other Thornycroft designs, they had characteristic broad, flat-sided funnels. Like the Admiralty modified ships, the Thornycrofts were up-gunned with the [[BL 4.7 inch /45 naval gun|BL 4.7 inch Mark I]] weapon, and they received triple banks of torpedo tubes from the outset. Another feature of recognition was that the QF 2 pdr guns were mounted ''en echelon'' amidships, between the funnels.

The completion of ''Witch'' was delayed by the end of the war, and she was eventually towed to [[HMNB Devonport|Devonport]] and completed there at HM Dockyard. Both were converted to the Short Range Escort type during World War II.
