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

Radio

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.[6]

Service

In mid-1913, she was operating with the First Destroyer Flotilla.[7]

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]

She reduced to C. & M. Party at Portsmouth on 17 October, 1919.[9]
