H.M.S. Quail was one of twenty-four "B" class destroyers built for the Royal Navy — a "30 knotter".

Service

Quail was commissioned along with the Sparrowhawk on 10 August 1897 for the West Indies Station.^[8]

The ship paid off at Devonport on 21 August, 1903.^[9]

On 14 January 1907, she and seven other "River" and "30 knotter" T.B.D.s. of the Second Destroyer Flotilla arrived in Portsmouth from Sheerness.^[10]

In September, 1912 through at least mid-1913, she was active with the Seventh Destroyer Flotilla — a patrol flotilla.^[11]^[12]

On 8 May 1913, as she made her way back to the Royal Dock at Grimsby after operations with the Seventh Destroyer Flotilla off the north-east coast of England, she collided with a quay, receiving moderate damage forward.^[13]

By May 1919, Quail was among 33 obsolete ships awaiting sale.^[14]
