HMS Broke

HMS Broke was a Faulknor-class destroyer leader of the Royal Navy, initially built for the Chilean Navy as the Almirante Lynch-class destroyer Almirante Goñi. The outbreak of the First World War led to her being purchased by the Admiralty in August 1914 shortly after her launching, and renamed HMS Broke. All of the class were present at the Battle of Jutland on 31 May to 1 June 1916, where Broke, out of control after hits from German ships, collided with the Acasta-class destroyer HMS Sparrowhawk, leading to the latter's loss. Broke saw action in several battles, and was resold to Chile after the conclusion of the war.
