The First Sloop Flotilla was a formation of sloops of the Royal Navy.

History

As its number suggests, it was the first sloop formation created, first appearing in the Navy List in July, 1915. Such inferences are seldom useful in studying British naval history, however — the next flotilla created would be the Tenth Sloop Flotilla, in February, 1916.

July, 1915

The flotilla is created some time in June, with just three sloops (Sunflower and Lily are to join shortly).[1]

August, 1915

Sunflower has joined and Lily is still expected. This arrangement would apply until some time in August.[2]
