H.M.S. Lydiard was one of twenty-two destroyers of the Laforey class.
Service
Lydiard collided with her sister Laforey in November 1914. Commander Edwards of Laforey was faulted for "careless navigation."[6]
Cecil Rudolph Ernest Wilbraham Perryman ceded command, temporarily, to Lieutenant-Commander Geoffrey Neville Henson from 18 May to 9 June, 1917.[7] Three days after returning, Perryman grounded the destroyer and was informed by the Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth that he was entirely to blame and "should try to be much more careful in future."[8]
Lydiard was damaged in a collision with the "R" Class destroyer Starfish on 17 October, 1919.[9]
Lydiard paid off at Chatham on 4 June, 1920.[10]
