H.M.S. Fearless was a scout cruiser in the Royal navy completed in 1913. Modern sources often treat her as a member of a three-vessel Active class, but we treat her as contemporary documents do, as one of seven ships of the Boadicea class.

On 24 November, 1914, Fearless was replaced by Galatea as leader of the First Destroyer Flotilla and went over to lead the Second Destroyer Flotilla, as that formation's leader was undergoing refit.[8]

Battle of Jutland

Fearless led the First Destroyer Flotilla, as she had done since the start of the war, being attached to the Battle Cruiser Force at the Battle of Jutland.[9][10]

Fire Control Instruments

The ship may have been equipped with Vickers F.T.P. Mark III equipment for sending range and deflection to the guns, as was her sister, Active.[11]

Captains

Dates of appointment are provided when known.
