H.M.S. Flirt was one of forty "C" class destroyers built for the Royal Navy — a "30 knotter".

Service

In mid-1913, she was operating with the Sixth Destroyer Flotilla.[8]

On the night of 26-27 October, 1916, she was in the eastern English Channel, protecting a line of anti-submarine drifters when six raiding German destroyers arrived and started ravaging her charges, sinking six. Flirt lowered a boat and turned on her searchlight to help save lives, and was taken under fire by two destroyers and rapidly sunk.[9]
