The Thirteenth Destroyer Flotilla was a formation of destroyers of the Royal Navy. The flotilla changed composition often as ships were damaged, retired or transferred.
In 1916, it was comprised of "M" class destroyers whose sixty-six 21-in Mark II torpedo test runs in the first half of that year proved 77% probable to endanger the enemy.[1]
