H.M.S. Teviot (1903)
Pendant Number: N.26 (1914)

H.M.S. Teviot was one of the Royal Navy's thirty-six "River" class destroyers.

Service

In late 1905, she was one of eight destroyers in the Second Division of the Channel Fleet's Destroyer Flotilla.[9]

In April, 1908, she was one of ten Rivers expected to arrive at Portsmouth in order to have H.M.S. Vernon install wireless telegraphy equipment in them.[10]

In March 1910, she was in the First Destroyer Flotilla, which was then part of First Division, Home Fleet.

Subject to her exercises being completed, Teviot was to leave Falmouth on 3 May 1911 for Sheerness under the lead of Diamond in company with sisters Erne, Cherwell and Ure.[11] Around June 13th, Diamond took the destroyers from Sheerness for the Downs, accompanied by eight further "Rivers".[12] Then in June, she went to Gibraltar under the command of Lt. Gerald Cartmell Harrison. Upon arrival in Gibraltar, Harrison was to go over to command Kestrel. Teviot was then to undergo a retubing refit at the Dockyard, which would complete by late January, 1912.[13][14]

In April 1912, Teviot was operating with the Fifth Destroyer Flotilla — a Patrol Flotilla based at Harwich.

In mid-1913, Teviot was operating with the Ninth Destroyer Flotilla — a patrol flotilla.[15]

Teviot collided with the destroyer Dee on 7 November, 1913.[16]

On 2 February, 1914, she was one of five Rivers of the Ninth Destroyer Flotilla paid off at Sheerness and Chatham, immediately recommissioning with new crews.[17]

From March through May 1916, Teviot was part of the Sixth Destroyer Flotilla, a Patrol Flotilla in Home and Atlantic Waters.

In May 1916 she was assigned to the Portsmouth Escort Flotilla.

On 3 December, 1916, a French destroyer collided with Teviot while the latter was under the command of Lt. Cdr. (retired) Sydney L. K. Lawford. P12 was credited with saving lives of French sailors in the aftermath.[18]

She operated with the Seventh Destroyer Flotilla from September 1917 through February 1918, whcih was under Rear-Admiral commanding the East Coast of England. In February 1918 she again joined the First Destroyer Flotilla, which was under the command of the Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth.

In January, 1919, she was detached to go to the Nore to await disposal.
