|---|---|
| Pendant Number: | D.32 (1914) D.44 (Sep 1915) D.02 (Jan 1918)[1] |
| Builder: | John I. Thornycroft & Company[2] |
| Ordered: | 1986-97 Programme[3] |

H.M.S. Albatross was one of forty "C" class destroyers built for the Royal Navy — a "30 knotter".
She was built for £66,500, and failed to make her design speed of 32 knots, reaching just 31.35 knots despite developing 7,732 H.P. – more than her designed 7,500 H.P..[8]
Service
In reserve at Malta in December, 1905.[9]
In early 1908, she was in the Mediterranean.[10]
In mid-1911, she was in the Mediterranean.[11]
In February, 1915, Albatross collided with something in Immingham Dock. Lieutenant-Commander Ralph Neville was informed by the Admiral of Patrols that gross carelessness on his part had prompted him to precisely duplicate an earlier accident which had befallen the Earnest.[12]
