The Twentieth Destroyer Flotilla was a formation of destroyers of the Royal Navy. The flotilla changed composition often as ships were damaged, retired or transferred.

Captains (D)

  • Captain Berwick Curtis, in command during the surrender of the German Fleet.[Citation needed]

Composition

July, 1918[1]
The Flotilla, along with the Seventh Destroyer Flotilla is part of the East Coast Forces, operating out of the Humber. The flotilla is tender to depôt ship Leander.

November, 1918[2]

Still with Leander as depôt ship, very few changes since July. Vehement and Ariel have been lost to mines, and Prince has been brought in.

By November 1918, the entire flotilla and their leaders were equipped to lay mines, leaders carrying up to 66 mines and destroyers 38 or 44. The torpedo tubes and guns removed when the mines were shipped could be placed back aboard with enough notice.[3]
