H.M.S. Mandate was one of one hundred and three destroyers of the "M" class built for the Royal Navy during the Great War.

Service

She fought at the Battle of Jutland, screening the Battle Fleet as one of the 14 "M" class destroyers of the Eleventh Destroyer Flotilla.[7]

On 13 December 1917, Mandate was involved in a collision with the convoy sloop Anchusa. Lt. Cdr. Arthur Henniker-Heaton displeased the Admiralty with his involvement in the affair, but he was promoted to Commander at the end of the month, regardless.[8] On 22 February 1918, he was superseded in command by the appointment of Lt. Kenneth Gordon Ramsey, who would command Mandate through the end of the war.

Mandate was reduced to a C. & M. Party at Devonport on 15 October, 1919.[9]
