The Fifth Destroyer Flotilla was a formation of destroyers of the Royal Navy. Originally called the Devonport Flotilla and comprised of Nucleus Crew vessels, it was re-designated as the Fifth Destroyer Flotilla in April, 1910.[1]
History
During the Dardanelles campaign, sixteen Beagle class were amongst those comprising the Fifth in the Mediterranean.[2][3]
In 1916, it was comprised of River, Beagle and Acorn class destroyers, whose torpedo test runnings in the first half of that year resulted in shots that were 79%, 82% and 80% likely to be dangerous to the enemy.[4]
1 November, 1911
The flotilla was comprised of:[5]
July, 1914
The flotilla was based in the Mediterranean, and each of the sixteen destroyers were allotted a larger store of rifles and associated landing party supplies, roughly double the previous total, bring the number of rifles to 24.[6]
September, 1914
There are sixteen Beagles with a depot ship, but no Captain (D) is mentioned, and there are no leaders.[7]

This roster and tasking would persist until November or December, 1914.[8]
December, 1914
There are now twelve Beagles. The flotilla is marked as "joining squadrons", which seems odd. Beagle, Bulldog, Pincher and Rattlesnake are gone, and are individually noted as "joining squadrons". They would appear in the local defence flotilla at Portsmouth in February or March, 1915.[9][10]

The flotilla is reformed in the Mediterranean with seven "River" class destroyers under third class protected cruiser Sapphire. Ribble, Usk, Chelmer, Colne, Jed and Kennet had come from the China Station, and Waveney from the Ninth Destroyer Flotilla. [11][12]

Sapphire is no longer directly a part of the flotilla, but is one of the light cruisers attached to the Mediterranean Fleet. Seven Beagles formerly of this flotilla have rejoined. Wear has joined from Gibraltar. Welland, of the China Station as recently as December, has also joined.[13][14][15]

The flotilla continues to gain strength, now reaching 24 destroyers. Although they'd been slated to join the Tenth Destroyer Flotilla, Beagle, Bulldog, Foxhound, Harpy, Pincher, Rattlesnake, Savage and Scourge have joined from the Portsmouth Defence Flotilla.[16][17]

Louis has been removed, as she was mined in late October, and Foxhound has gone on to work "in Home Waters or on detached service." Comet, Fury, Redpole and Staunch have joined from a detached status with the Second Destroyer Flotilla.[25][26]

Grampus, Harpy, Mosquito, Redpole, Renard and Savage have left to work "in Home Waters or on detached service." Acorn, Minstrel, Rifleman and Sheldrake have followed the previous detached group over from the Second Destroyer Flotilla, and now are tender to Egmont. It is possible that these destroyers are based in Malta,[Inference] as this Egmont group would be explicitly dubbed the "Malta Flotilla" in May, 1917. Torpedo Boats 17, 18, 29 and 30 are now tenders to Aquarius.[27][28]

The roster has not changed, but the eight Acorns under Egmont are now dubbed the "Malta Flotilla", and we will treat them as an autonomous defence flotilla and detach them here. It is not clear whether that flotilla also includes the torpedo boats.[51]
