H.M.S. Partridge was one of one hundred and three destroyers of the "M" class built for the Royal Navy during the Great War.

Service

Partridge was to join the Thirteenth Destroyer Flotilla in May 1916.[8] Whether she made it there is uncertain, as she did not participate in the Battle of Jutland and was not in the Navy List in June. By July, she had appeared in the Fourteenth Destroyer Flotilla.[9]

She was still with the Fourteenth when she was sunk by German destroyers in the North Sea on 12 December, 1917.[10]

Alterations

In 1915 or 1916, she trialed a Wise Pressure Telegraphy System Type A for torpedo control.[15]
