Service
Ure was one of seventeen destroyers of the Reserve Division which left Sheerness on 1 July, 1905 for Spithead under the overall command of Commander R. G. Gregory in H.M.S. Spitfire.[9]
She and Kestrel arrived at Sheerness with ten torpedo boats on 13 July, 1905.[10]
On 14 January 1907, she and seven other "River" and "30 knotter" T.B.D.s. of the Second Destroyer Flotilla arrived in Portsmouth from Sheerness.[11] Is this year correct?
In February 1908 Ure was one of seven "Rivers" of the Nore Destroyer Flotilla taken into Sheerness Dockyard for refitting, during which time three 12-pdr guns were mounted in lieu of five 6-pdrs, which were deemed too light to be useful.[12]
In April, 1908, she was one of ten Rivers expected to arrive at Portsmouth in order to have H.M.S. Vernon install wireless telegraphy equipment in them.[13]
Ure was detached from the Eastern Destroyer Group at Harwich as part of one of two divisions of "River" class destroyers sent on 2 June 1908 to escort the King and Queen on a visit to Russia. The muscle in this escort was to be the cruisers Natal, Cochrane, Minotaur and Achilles.[14]
Subject to her exercises being completed, Ure was to leave Falmouth on 3 May 1911 for Sheerness under the lead of Diamond in company with sisters Erne, Teviot and Cherwell.[15] Around June 13th, Diamond took the destroyers from Sheerness for the Downs, accompanied by eight further "Rivers".[16]
In mid-1913, with Ninth Destroyer Flotilla — a patrol flotilla.[17]
On 2 February, 1914, she was one of five Rivers of the Ninth Destroyer Flotilla paid off at Sheerness and Chatham, immediately recommissioning with new crews.[18]
