H.M.S. Myrmidon (1896)
Pendant Number: P.83 (1914)

Ordered: 1899 Programme[3]

H.M.S. Myrmidon was one of twenty-four "B" class destroyers built for the Royal Navy — a "30 knotter".

Service

In 1904, a collision with Coquette was judged to be through an error in judgment of Commander Allan F. Everett. Their Lordships cautioned him to be more careful in future.[8]

In early 1906, she was with the Channel Fleet's First Destroyer Flotilla, based in Portsmouth and tender to Sapphire.[9]

She was one of twenty-seven T.B.Ds. of the Portsmouth Flotilla to participate in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1909.[10]

In March, 1910, she was with the Fourth Destroyer Flotilla, part of the Third Division of the Home Fleet.

In mid-1913, she was with the Third Destroyer Flotilla.[11]

By July, 1914, she was with the Sixth Destroyer Flotilla. She stayed with that formation until being lost in a collision on 26 March, 1917.

Captains
