HMS Thisbe

HMS Thisbe was an R-class destroyer which served in the Royal Navy during World War I. The R class were an improvement on the previous M class with geared steam turbines to improve efficiency. Built by Hawthorn Leslie and launched on 8 March 1917, the destroyer served as part of the Harwich Force. In 1918, the destroyer towed a flying boat on a lighter to take part in operations off the coast of Heligoland, although the aircraft failed to take off. After the war, the destroyer was placed in reserve. After being part of a naval review in front of George V in 1924, the destroyer participated in trials of different compasses with the Compass Department in 1925. The ship was sold to be broken up on 31 August 1936.
