Immediately prior to redesignation as the Fifth Destroyer Flotilla, the Devonport Flotilla comprised a mixture of early destroyers (both 27 and 30-knotters) and "[[Cricket Class Torpedo Boat (1906)|Coastals]]".  It was assigned to the Third Division of the Home Fleet.{{NLApr10|p. 269''a''}}
 +
 +
Several of the flotilla's ships were attached to other commands: ''Spitfire'' was attached to the {{UK-Indus}}, ''Salmon'' to the {{UK-Defiance}}, and ''Snapper'' to the {{UK-Forth}}. Two further ships fell under the orders of the Commander in Chief, Portsmouth and were tenders to {{UK-Pomone}}.

Latest revision as of 11:48, 30 April 2023

The Fifth Destroyer Flotilla was a formation of destroyers of the Royal Navy. Originally called the Devonport Flotilla and comprised of Nucleus Crew vessels, it was re-designated as the Fifth Destroyer Flotilla in April, 1910.[1]

During the Great War, it primarily served in the Mediterranean.

History

During the Dardanelles campaign, sixteen Beagle class were amongst those comprising the Fifth in the Mediterranean.[2][3]

In 1916, it was comprised of River, Beagle and Acorn class destroyers, whose torpedo test runnings in the first half of that year resulted in shots that were 79%, 82% and 80% likely to be dangerous to the enemy.[4]

March, 1910

Immediately prior to redesignation as the Fifth Destroyer Flotilla, the Devonport Flotilla comprised a mixture of early destroyers (both 27 and 30-knotters) and "Coastals". It was assigned to the Third Division of the Home Fleet.[5]

Several of the flotilla's ships were attached to other commands: Spitfire was attached to the Indus, Salmon to the Defiance, and Snapper to the Forth. Two further ships fell under the orders of the Commander in Chief, Portsmouth and were tenders to Pomone.

The flotilla was comprised of:[6]

April, 1912

The Royal Navy's flotillas 1–8 were reorganised this month, leaving the 5 D.F. as one of four patrol flotillas with nucleus crews. Her strength is now twenty-five "Rivers" and a pair of cruisers based on Harwich.[7][8]

The ships of the present Third Destroyer Flotilla were renamed the 5 D.F. upon their transfer to the Mediterranean Fleet on this day. Henceforth, 3 D.F. would be re-populated with newly-completed "L" class destroyers.[9]

July, 1914

The flotilla was based in the Mediterranean, and each of the sixteen destroyers were allotted a larger store of rifles and associated landing party supplies, roughly double the previous total, bring the number of rifles to 24.[10]

September, 1914

There are sixteen Beagles with a depot ship, but no Captain (D) is mentioned, and there are no leaders.[11]

This roster and tasking would persist until November or December, 1914.[12]

December, 1914

There are now twelve Beagles. The flotilla is marked as "joining squadrons", which seems odd. Beagle, Bulldog, Pincher and Rattlesnake are gone, and are individually noted as "joining squadrons". They would appear in the local defence flotilla at Portsmouth in February or March, 1915.[13][14]

The flotilla is reformed in the Mediterranean with seven "River" class destroyers under third class protected cruiser Sapphire. Ribble, Usk, Chelmer, Colne, Jed and Kennet had come from the China Station, and Waveney from the Ninth Destroyer Flotilla. [15][16]

Grampus, Harpy, Mosquito, Redpole, Renard and Savage have left to work "in Home Waters or on detached service." Acorn, Minstrel, Rifleman and Sheldrake have followed the previous detached group over from the Second Destroyer Flotilla, and now are tender to Egmont. It is possible that these destroyers are based in Malta,[Inference] as this Egmont group would be explicitly dubbed the "Malta Flotilla" in May, 1917. Torpedo Boats 17, 18, 29 and 30 are now tenders to Aquarius.[31][32]

A reorganization has placed the eight Rivers in Malta, and the old Malta destroyers into the Brindisi group. Strength is now 51 destroyers.[85][86]

The flotilla is no longer labelled as the Fifth in the Navy List, but appears largely intact although the Brindisi force is now part of the Aegean Squadron. Rattlesnake has moved out to join the Second Destroyer Flotilla. The new destroyers Senator and Sikh have been assigned to this formation, to arrive "shortly", as has Tilbury, which has actually arrived.[89]

January, 1919

The flotilla is no longer labelled as the Fifth in the Navy List, but continues its work, once again as part of the Mediterranean Fleet. The six Australian Acherons have been ordered home. Defender has joined, coming up from Gibraltar. The Malta contingent has been dissolved. Five of the Malta Rivers (Colne, Jed, Kennet, Wear and Welland) have been ordered home, while Chelmer is in Portsmouth and Ribble and Usk are in Devonport.[91][92]

March, 1919

A post-war reorganization of the flotillas completely reinvents the Fifth Flotilla as one of seven in the Grand Fleet, with 2 leaders (Parker will be joining "shortly") and 16 very modern destroyers. Blenheim has in this month become the depot ship to the Mediterranean's new Sixth Destroyer Flotilla, retaining the "S" class vessels Senator, Shark, Sikh, Tilbury and Tribune. Acorn, Cameleon, Lapwing, Redpole and Rifleman have been ordered home while the other seventeen destroyers remain listed as part of the Mediterranean Fleet, based at Malta, though Hope is paid off.[94]
