H.M.S. Lee was one of forty "C" class destroyers built for the Royal Navy — a "30 knotter".
She was lost before the war.
Service
Lee participated in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1901, but I can find no record of anyone being appointed in command.
Lee arrived at Sheerness with six other destroyers from the North Sea on 1 October, 1901.[7]
