H.M.S. Kale was one of 36 destroyers of the "River" class.
Service
Commissioned in mid-1905 as the first command of Lieutenant Walter Lingen Allen, Kale joined the Devonport Reserve. She and ten other "Rivers" followed the scout cruiser H.M.S. Skirmisher from Plymouth on 21 August for a practice cruise along the Devon and Cornish coasts.[8]
In mid-1913, she was serving in the Ninth Destroyer Flotilla.[9]
She left Sheerness on 13 December 1913 for Pembroke Dockyard, where she was expected to pay off on arrival for a retubing refit.[10]
Kale, along with forty men, was lost to a British mine in the North Sea on 27 March, 1918.[11]
