The Fifth Destroyer Flotilla was a formation of destroyers of the Royal Navy. The flotilla changed composition often as ships were damaged, retired or transferred. For tactical reasons the flotilla was divided into two half flotillas.
In 1916, it was comprised of River, Beagle and Acheron class destroyers, whose torpedo test runnings that year resulted in shots that were 79%, 82% and 80% likely to be dangerous to the enemy.[1]
