Service

In August 1916, Medway joined the Thirteenth Destroyer Flotilla.[6] She served with the Thirteenth until March, 1918 when she went to the Third Destroyer Flotilla.[7] In May, she went to the Second Destroyer Flotilla of the Northern Division of the Coast of Ireland Station.[8]

She was one of six destroyers loaned to the Fifteenth Destroyer Flotilla in November 1918, but this assignment did not persist beyond around a month.[9]

In January, 1919, Medway was sent to Portsmouth as part of a post-war demobilisation.[10]

Medway was reduced to C. & M. Party at Portsmouth on 17 October, 1919.[11]
