H.M.S. Sabrina was one of sixty-two "R" class destroyers completed for the Royal Navy in 1916-17.

Service

Sabrina was assigned to the Fifteenth Destroyer Flotilla in October, 1916, as it was still building up to strength.[8]

She was reduced to Reserve at the Chatham, 24 August, 1920.[9]

Following an earlier round of a flotilla leader and seventeen destroyers, Sabrina was named in September 1925 as one of an additional fifteen destroyers to be scrapped in the fiscal year starting 1 April, 1926.[10]
