Seventh Destroyer Flotilla (Royal Navy)
From The Dreadnought Project
The Seventh 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 assorted old torpedo boats and River class destroyers, whose torpedoes were 84% and 97% likely to be dangerous to the enemy.[1]
