''Lynx''''' was one of twenty destroyers of the [[Acasta Class Destroyer (1912)|''Acasta'' class]]. ==Service== ''Lynx'' was known for having a steering system prone to jamming. ''Lynx'' left Cromarty with two half-divisions of the {{UK-DF|4}} on 15 December, 1915 and she encountered a German destroyer. ''Lynx'' was hit by gunfire as she gave chase and her forward magazine was flooded. Her steering commenced to jam and the rest of her force made the error of following her, thus ending the pursuit.{{HardLying|p. 147}} ==Captains== Dates of appointment are provided when known. <div name=fredbot:officeCapt otitle="Captain of {{UK-Lynx|f=p}}">{{TenureListBegin|Captain of {{UK-Lynx|f=p}}}} {{Tenure|rank={{CommRN}}|name=Reginald St. Pierre Parry|nick=Reginald St. P.
