Builder: Laird[2]

H.M.S. Quail was one of twenty-four "B" class destroyers built for the Royal Navy — a "30 knotter".

Service

Brand new, Quail participated in the Diamond Jubilee and then was paid off at Devonport on 12 July, 1897.[8]

Quail was commissioned along with the Sparrowhawk on 10 August 1897 for the West Indies Station.[9] They were escorted to Bermuda by the first class protected cruiser Blenheim, which was temporarily detached from the Channel Squadron for the purpose.[10] A harbour accident prevented Sparrowhawk from being ready as Quail completed a trial off Plymouth in which she achieved 28 knots.[11] In the end, Rocket replaced Sparrowhawk, and Charybdis rather than Blenheim acted as escort.[12] The new-fashioned convoy left on 25 August.[13]

The ship paid off at Devonport on 21 August, 1903.[14]

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.[15]

In September, 1912 through at least mid-1913, she was active with the Seventh Destroyer Flotilla — a patrol flotilla.[16][17]

On 8 May 1913, as she made her way back to the Royal Dock at Grimsby after operations with the Seventh Destroyer Flotilla off the north-east coast of England, she collided with a quay, receiving moderate damage forward.[18]

By May 1919, Quail was among 33 obsolete ships awaiting sale.[19]
