H.M.S. Beagle was one of sixteen destroyers of the Beagle class.
Service
In July 1913 Beagle was serving with the Third Destroyer Flotilla.[7] By the outbreak of war, she and all fifteen of her sisters had been transferred to the Fifth Destroyer Flotilla in the Mediterranean.
Commander Harry R. Godfrey commanded her when she covered the landings at Anzac Cove at Gallipoli.[8]
At Suvla Bay on 6-7 August, 1915, Beagle worked with five of her sisters and Arno to tow troop barges in. A similar effort with a smaller force placed its troops in the wrong position.[9]
In September, 1917, she transferred to the Second Destroyer Flotilla, which was part of the Northern Division, Coast of Ireland Station stationed at Buncrana.
In May of 1918, she moved to the Fourth Destroyer Flotilla, which was operating out of Devonport, but she returned to 2 D.F. in September or October, 1918.
In December, she was sent to the Nore to await her fate.
