H.M.S. Bat was one of 40 destroyers of the "C" class.
Career
Bat was leader of the Devonport Flotilla in mid-1899 under command of Alexander Ludovic Duff.[7] In July 1913, she was part of the Sixth Destroyer Flotilla, a patrol flotilla.[8]
Captains
Dates of appointment are provided when known.
- Commander Alexander Ludovic Duff, in command, and Captain (D) of the Devonport Flotilla during exercises in July 1899.[9]
- Lieutenant-Commander Roy Bacchus, 20 FEbruary, 1912.[10]
- Lieutenant in Command Desmond Maxwell, 3 February, 1914.[11]
Torpedoes
In October 1898, the ship became the first destroyer in the Royal Navy to receive a torpedo fitted for a gyroscope, drawn from the Portsmouth Depot, a single 18-in R.G.F. Mark IV Torpedo, S.L. type, manufactured by Whitehead.[12]
Her gyro hardware is still seemingly unique in that it is noted in her results of a flotilla exercise of July 1899, where she scored one hit in three shots. She is the only destroyer whose results are so noted.[13]
