H.M.S. Ness was one of the Royal Navy's thirty-six "River" class destroyers.
Service
In February 1908 Ness was one of seven "Rivers" of the Nore Destroyer Flotilla taken into Sheerness Dockyard for refitting, during which time three 12-pdr guns were mounted in lieu of five 6-pdrs, which were deemed too light to be useful.[9]
Ness was detached from the Eastern Destroyer Group at Harwich as part of one of two divisions of "River" class destroyers sent on 3 June 1908 to escort the King and Queen on a visit to Russia. The muscle in this escort was to be the cruisers Natal, Cochrane, Minotaur and Achilles.[10]
In mid-1913, she was with the Ninth Destroyer Flotilla.[11]
