HMS Taurus
From Warlike
Q30599236
HMS Taurus was an R-class destroyer which served with the Royal Navy during World War I. Ordered from Thornycroft in 1915 and launched in 1917, the vessel operated as part of the Harwich Force until the end of hostilities. Shortly after entering service, Taurus formed part of the destroyer shield for the Royal Navy's bombardment of Ostend that successfully sank the German destroyer S20. After the War, the destroyer was reduced to the Reserve Fleet and stationed at Devonport. After a brief period of service in Ireland and appearance in the 1924 naval review, Taurus was sold to be broken up in 1930.
