H.M.S. Jackal was one of 29 destroyers of the Acheron class.

She was one of eighteen Acheron class destroyers fitted with W/T in 1912, becoming one of 123 destroyers so far fitted with Destroyer Sets.[7]
Service
She was operated with the First Destroyer Flotilla from at least April, 1912 through about November, 1916. She would see action in the Battle of Heligoland Bight on 28 November 1914. Less than two months later, she would fight with her flotilla in the Battle of Dogger Bank.
On 28 October 1915, she and Hornet stood by the armoured cruiser Argyll, which had run hard aground in stormy seas on Bell Rock off Dundee. Commander Bingham boldly approached the stricken cruiser and kept Hornet alongside while groups of men leapt from the grounded vessel to his deck. Not a man was lost in the daring rescue.[8]
From November 1916 Jackal spent some time in an escort flotilla based in Portsmouth. In June, 1917 she joined the Second Destroyer Flotilla, which was operating out of Devonport.
In November 1917 she joined the Fifth Destroyer Flotilla, which was operating in the Mediterranean. She was finally ordered home in February, 1919.
Jackal was reduced to a C. & M. Party at Portsmouth on 17 October, 1919.[9]
