H.M.S. Wolf was one of twenty-four "B" class destroyers built for the Royal Navy — a "30 knotter".
Service
In late 1905, she was one of eight destroyers in the Second Division of the Channel Fleet's Destroyer Flotilla.[8]
On 6 December, 1905, Wolf collided with Blackwater while the two approached a mooring. Their speed was judged too high for the manoeuvre, and Wolf's Lt. Waterer was deemed "unfit for the command of a T.B.." He was removed from command on 29 December in favour of an appointment as gunnery officer in the second class protected cruiser Sirius.[9]
He was replaced by Lt. Mark Goodwin Newton, who commanded the destroyer until Jult, 1906.
In mid-1913, Wolf was active with the Seventh Destroyer Flotilla — a patrol flotilla.[10]
