The Twelfth Destroyer Flotilla was a formation of destroyers of the Royal Navy. The flotilla changed composition often as ships were damaged, retired or transferred.
Formed early in 1916, it was comprised of M class destroyers whose 200 21-in Mark II torpedo test runs through March of that year were 90% probable to endanger the enemy.[1]
