H.M.S. Bat was one of forty "C" class destroyers built for the Royal Navy — a "30 knotter".

Service

Bat was leader of the Devonport Instructional Flotilla in mid-1899 under command of Alexander Ludovic Duff.[7]

In the early morning hours of 15 February, 1900, Bat was one of several T.B.Ds. of the Devonport Flotilla damaged, losing the guard of her starboard propeller, when H.M.S. Fairy dragged her anchor in Falmouth Harbour. [8] Further damage would result during a full power trial on 21 February, when a steam accident in her engine room would require her to return to Plymouth on her port engines only and require her removal from the flotilla. A cascading series of faults originating in a fracture at a bolt hole caused a crack fully two inches wide in a cylinder.[9] She was paid off into the Dockyard Reserve on 8 March and her crew turned over to Leven, which would replace her in the Instructional Flotilla.[10]

On 23 January, 1901, Bat led six other destroyers (plus Leven, who sortied later) of her flotilla from Devonport to Kingstown. They were to return to Devonport after two weeks.[11]

In early March, 1901, Bat returned to Plymouth, escorting H.M.S. Fairy, whose Lieutenant and Commander Barkley had been injured by a fall down a hatch.[12]

She was one of twenty-seven T.B.Ds. of the Portsmouth Flotilla to participate in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1909.[13]

In March, 1910, she was part of the Fourth Destroyer Flotilla, itself a component of the Third Division, Home Fleet.

From at least April 12 to July 1913, she was part of the Sixth Destroyer Flotilla, a patrol flotilla based at Portsmouth. When war broke out, she was briefly part of the Eighth Destroyer Flotilla, another partol flotilla.

At some point in 1917 before June, she collided with a barge, resulting in a caution being issued to her captain, Lt. Arthur Hope Hignett, R.N.R..[14]

In July 1917, she joined the Seventh Destroyer Flotilla as part of its East Coast Convoy Flotilla. She remained in this role until February 1919.

Captains

Dates of appointment are provided when known.

Torpedoes

In October 1898, the ship became the first destroyer in the Royal Navy to receive a torpedo fitted for a gyroscope, drawn from the Portsmouth Depot, a single 18-in R.G.F. Mark IV Torpedo, S.L. type, manufactured by Whitehead.[66]

Her gyro hardware is still seemingly unique in that it is noted in her results of a flotilla exercise of July 1899, where she scored one hit in three shots. She is the only destroyer whose results are so noted.[67]
