H.M.S. Nubian (1909)
Pendant Number: H.70 (1914)
D.06 (Sep 1915)[1]
Builder: John I. Thornycroft & Company[2]
Ordered: 1907-08 Programme[3]
Launched: 21 Apr, 1909[4]
Completed: Sep, 1909[5]
Torpedoed: 27 Oct, 1916[6]
Fate: See Zubian

H.M.S. Nubian was one of twelve "Tribal" class destroyers completed for the Royal Navy in the years immediately preceding the Great War.

Service

Nubian arrived at Sheerness on 2 September 1909 to be commissioned by Commander Colin Mackenzie for service with the First Destroyer Flotilla.[7] Before the end of the year, she became one of forty-three destroyers so far fitted with Destroyer Sets.[8]

In mid-1913, she was with the Fourth Destroyer Flotilla.[9]

In July, 1914, work to somehow alter the ship's chart table was deferred.[10]

She was torpedoed by one of six German destroyers she challenged in the night, demolishing her bow.[11] This damage would pair well with damage to the stern of Zulu, which would permit the two hulks to be fashioned into the H.M.S. Zubian. Zubian would operate with the Dover Patrol and be credited with sinking UC 50 on 4 February, 1918.
