The ''Bittern'' class were built as light, long-range escort ships with limited anti-air capability. They were fitted with Denny-Brown fin stabilisers and a [[HACS]] fire control system.

	Three ships were built: {{HMS\|Enchantress\|L56\|6}} (originally called ''Bittern'', but renamed before launching in 1934), {{HMS\|Stork\|L81\|6}} and {{HMS\|Bittern\|L07\|6}}. ''Enchantress'' was the first in the class, and was built as an armed [[Admiral]]'s yacht. The armament was two single 4.7-inch guns forward and four 3-pounder saluting guns. Anti-aircraft armament was installed at the outbreak of war~~, however the aft turret, originally replaced with accommodation, was never installed~~.

''Enchantress'' was the first in the class, and was built as an armed [[Admiral]]'s yacht. The as-completed armament was two single 4.7-inch guns forward and four 3-pounder saluting guns. Anti-aircraft armament and a third, aft, 4.7-inch gun was installed at the outbreak of war.

	''Stork'' was unarmed on completion, but with provision for six 4-inch guns, plus [[anti-aircraft\|AA]] and [[anti-submarine warfare\|ASW]] weaponry; she served as a survey vessel in the Far East. Her main armament was added at the outbreak of war.
