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

In October 1914, the ship was to be given 6 Pattern 1582 Electric Radiators to warm cabins whose stoves could not be used for heating them.[8]

The ship was equipped with Vickers F.T.P. Mark III equipment for sending range and deflection to the guns. It is not certain that her sister ships were so equipped.[9]
