H.M.S. Conflict was one of forty-two "A" class destroyers built for the Royal Navy — a "27 knotter".
Service
Sir John Fisher inspected Conflict on 4 November, 1901 and found her in a general condition "not creditable to the officer in command". Subsequently Fisher had commanding officer Lieutenant Thomas Henderson relieved and packed off to the first class protected cruiser Amphitrite with the stinging comment that he was unsuitable for independent command "as he has a bad temper and possesses neither tact nor judgement."[7]
In 1911, the Conflict was tender to Vernon and apparently had a 21-in A.W. torpedo tube for testing purposes. Hers was the first to have screw plugs added to allow range and depth to be set while the tube was loaded, and to access the stop and charging valves. While it generally worked, it was decided that the weakening of the tube did not warrant retrofitting existing tubes in this way, but that the Fearless and Rob Roy and future ships should have their tubes built with this feature, as well as the means of filling the collision head.[8][9]
