The Jisova-class destroyers were a class of Destroyers built by the Republic of Syara in the 1920s. Their primary role was to serve as scouting and escorts for the battleline during major fleet operations, though they were also pressed into service as convoy escorts during the Siduri War. The original production of 30 destroyers was completed in 1928, but additional vessels were requested due to the Siduri War which saw the class eventually expanded to 69 ships out of a requested 80. 42 Jisova-class destroyers were eventually lost between the Sundering Sea Campaign and the Nuadan Campaign, while a small number were retained by the post-war Syaran navy. The remaining ships were decommissioned in 1941 and scrapped.
