Service

On 17 February, 1917 the destroyer Oberon collided with Lightfoot and Onslow. The Admiralty considered that Oberon's Lt. Cdr. Bomford had made a serious error in altering back to his original course after making an eight-point turn to starboard, but satisfaction at how he kept the vessel afloat in the immediate aftermath.[4]

Reduced to C. & M. Party at the Nore on 8 February, 1920.[5]
