H.M.S. Conflict was one of forty-two destroyers of the "A" class — a "27 knotter".

Service

In 1911, the Conflict was tender to Vernon and apparently had a 21-in A.W. torpedo tube for testing purposes. Hers was the first to have screw plugs added to allow range and depth to be set while the tube was loaded, and to access the stop and charging valves. While it generally worked, it was decided that the weakening of the tube did not warrant retrofitting existing tubes in this way, but that the Fearless and Rob Roy and future ships should have their tubes built with this feature, as well as the means of filling the collision head.[7][8]
