HMS Tenacious
From Warlike
Q123907417
HMS Tenacious was an R-class destroyer that served in the Royal Navy during the First World War. The R class were an improvement on the previous M class with geared steam turbines to improve efficiency. Launched in 1917, Tenacious served with the Eleventh Destroyer Flotilla of the Grand Fleet. The destroyer had a generally uneventful war. Despite sailing in 1918 to engage the German High Seas Fleet in one of the final sorties of war, the destroyer did not see the enemy fleet and no shots were fired. After the Armistice, the ship was stationed at Devonport. Following a decision to replace older destroyers in the Royal Navy, Tenacious was retired in 1928 and sold to be broken up.
