The Action of 15 February, 1918 was the last of seven German destroyer raids on the net-tending vessels of the Dover Patrol on the night of 14/15 February, 1918. The raid was a success, and the Germans sank eight small ships and damaged several others. A clumsy, confused response failed to bring the raiders to action before they made their escape.
