HMS Ulysses

HMS Ulysses was a Royal Navy modified R-class destroyer constructed and then operational in the First World War. The R class were an improvement on the previous M class with geared steam turbines to improve efficiency. The Modified R class added attributes of the Yarrow Later M class to improve the capability of the ships to operate in bad weather. Built by Doxford and launched in March 1917, the vessel served with the Fifteenth Destroyer Flotilla of the Grand Fleet that escorted convoys that travelled between Britain and Scandinavia. On 29 October 1918, the destroyer struck SS Ellerie in fog and sank. The entire ship's company was rescued.
