H.M.S. Lynx (1894)
Builder: Laird[1]
Ordered: 1893[2]
Laid down: Jul, 1893[3]
Launched: 24 Jan, 1894[4]
Commissioned: Aug, 1895[5]
Broken up: 1912[6]

H.M.S. Lynx was one of forty-two destroyers of the "A" class — a "26 knotter".

Like many of the "A" class, she was broken up before the war.

Service

In 1909, Lynx twice suffered misfortune at the hands of her then-master, Lieutenant Henry Taprell Dorling. She first ran aground, a misfortune for which Dorling received a caution directly from the C-in-C. A later collision with a schooner Mary was more ambiguous; both ships were judged to be at fault.[7]
