The Dover Patrol was a Royal Navy force based in Dover apparently instituted in June, 1915.[1]

It operated continuously through the end of the war, with its strength primarily comprised of the Sixth Destroyer Flotilla, the Fifth Submarine Flotilla, the Downs Boarding Flotilla (which was created earlier than the Dover Patrol, and a collection of monitors.

In March 1919, it was renamed the Dover Patrol Force,[2] and it rapidly frittered away from there, losing its destroyers and submarines, leaving only a collection of minesweepers and "P" Boats by May.[3]
