H.M.S. Engadine was a cross-channel steamer converted to a seaplane carrier for the Royal Navy in 1914.

Service

Battle of Jutland

She accompanied the Battle Cruiser Force at the Battle of Jutland. One of her seaplanes under the command of Frederick Rutland sortied to scout the enemy disposition early in the battle, but actual benefits from this foray were thwarted by the sort of difficulties that typically mooted such early aviation efforts. After the battle, she undertook a tow of the wallowing armoured cruiser Warrior, but the sieved cruiser foundered before harbour could be made.
