H.M.S. Racoon was one of 16 destroyers of the Beagle class.
Service
In mid-1913 she was active with the Third Destroyer Flotilla.[6]
In mid-1914 it was decided that she, along with two of her sisters while they were apparently on Mediterranean service, was not to have a platform fitted abaft the 4-in gun.[7]
On 8 March, 1915, Racoon was damaged by an underwater shell-burst when she and several other destroyers went to the aid of the mined battleship Ocean.[8]
