H.M.S. Sylvia was one of forty destroyers of the "C" class — a "30 knotter".
Service
In mid-1913, she was operating with Seventh Destroyer Flotilla — a patrol flotilla.[8]
On 29 September, 1917, she and Arab raced out of Lerwick in a belated effort to assist in Tirade's destruction of UC 55. Sylvia nonetheless fired three rounds from her 12-pdr., claiming hits that other sources discounted.[9]
