HMS Mastiff

HMS Mastiff was a destroyer of the M class that served with the Royal Navy during First World War. Launched by Thornycroft in 1914, the vessel was the one of two similar ships ordered as part of the 1913–14 construction programme to a Thornycroft design. The vessel was faster than other members of the class, achieving 37.5 knots during sea trials, and gained a reputation as the fastest ship in service. Forming part of the Harwich Force, the destroyer participated in the Battle of Dogger Bank in 1915 and the First Ostend Raid in 1918, as well as other sorties against German submarines and destroyers. The vessel received no hits in any of these operations. Following the Armistice of 1918 that ended the war, Mastiff was initially allocated to the Firth of Forth Local Defence Flotilla, but was soon retired and, in 1921, sold to be broken up.
