H.M.S. Virago was one of twenty-four destroyers of the "B" class — a "30 knotter".
Service
In July, 1904, complaints from Vice-Admiral Noel of the China Station about the condition of his T.B.s and T.B.D.s prompted a review of his assets by First Lord of the Admiralty Selborne. Within, it was noted that Virago's boiler tubes were at the end of life expectancy and that they should be re-tubed right away, work to be completed by November.[8]
In mid-1913, she was still on the China Station.[9]
