H.M.S. Liffey was one of 36 destroyers of the "River" class.

Service

She and ten other T.B.Ds. of the Devonport Reserve followed the scout cruiser H.M.S. Skirmisher from Plymouth on 21 August 1905 for a practice cruise along the Devon and Cornish coasts.[7] On 29 August as the force engaged in exercises at Torbay, Leopard's steering gear malfunctioned as the formation was being altered, causing her to strike Boyne in the stern. Liffey under the command of Lieutenant Hugh Percival Buckle escorted the two damaged destroyers back to Devonport.[8]

In mid-1906, Liffey was with the Channel Fleet's Third Destroyer Flotilla.

In 1910, she was in the Second Destroyer Flotilla.

In mid-1913, she was active with the Ninth Destroyer Flotilla, a patrol flotilla.[9]

Around September 1917 she moved to the Seventh Destroyer Flotilla.

In January, 1918 she was one of eight "Rivers" to move to the First Destroyer Flotilla.
