H.M.S. Blonde (1910)
Pendant Number: C7 (1014)
18 (Jan 1918)
64 (Apr 1918)[1]
Builder: Pembroke Royal Dockyard[2]
Ordered: 1909 Programme[3]
Laid down: 6 Dec, 1909[4]
Launched: 22 Jul, 1910[5]
Commissioned: May, 1911[6]
Sold: 6 May, 1920[7]
Fate: to T. C. Pas, Holland[8]

H.M.S. Blonde was a scout cruiser in the Royal Navy completed in 1911. Modern sources often treat her as the name ship of a two-vessel class, but we treat her as contemporary documents do, as one of seven ships of the Boadicea class.

Service

Commissioned at Pembroke Dock 17 May, 1911. Soon thereafter, she became the flagship cruiser of First Destroyer Flotilla.[9]

She was refit to be a minelayer in September, 1917.[10] In this configuration, she could carry 66 mines and conduct six laying operations per month to a radius of 2120 miles.[11]

Captains
