H.M.S. Lynx was one of forty-two "A" class destroyers built for the Royal Navy — a "26 knotter".
Like many of the "A" class, she was broken up before the war.
Service
During trials conducted on 23 August, 1894, Lynx made a surprisingly good 28.3 knots before a pipe fitting burst, necessitating the postponement of the trial to the next day.[7]
On a passage from Birkenhead to Plymouth on 24 December 1894 under the temporary command of Lieutenant D. E. R. Brownrigg, Lynx ran aground along the Cornish coast and suffered a wedge-shaped hole near the keelson under the wardroom which varied from one to three inches in shape as well as a bent starboard propeller shaft. A day-long Court Martial was convened on 27 December, 1894 with Brownrigg, the boatswain, the look-out man, the quarter-master and the chief engine-room artificer giving evidence. A telegram to dockyard officials directed them to accept the boat immediately to relieve Laird Brothers of any further responsibility.[8]
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.[9]
