HMS Paragon was an Acasta-class destroyer that served in the Royal Navy during the First World War. She was launched in 1913, and joined the 4th Destroyer Flotilla upon completion, becoming one of the 21 destroyers in that unit. Initially, the flotilla served with the Grand Fleet, but Paragon was not present for the Battle of Jutland. The flotilla moved to the Humber in July 1916. Here, they were responsible for the merchant ships sailing down Britain's East Coast to London. Five ships from the flotilla, including Paragon, were transferred from the 4th Destroyer Flotilla to the 6th over the winter of 1916-1917, thereby joining the Dover Patrol.
