H.M.S. Express was one of twenty-four "B" class destroyers built for the Royal Navy — a "30 knotter".
Service
She and ten other T.B.Ds. of the Devonport Reserve followed the scout cruiser H.M.S. Skirmisher from Plymouth on 21 August 1905 for a practice cruise along the Devon and Cornish coasts.[8]
In late 1905, she was one of eight destroyers in the Third Division of the Channel Fleet's Destroyer Flotilla.[9]
In December 1907, Mermaid and Express collided at night. Mermaid's Lt. in Command Thynne was castigated for allowing the ships to converge, unlit, on a rendezvous at such a high speed.[10]
On 6 May 1913, she ran aground at Spurn Head while returning to port after operations with the Seventh Destroyer Flotilla. On 8 May, as she made her way back to dock, she collided with the Great Central passenger steamer Leicester, sustaining extensive damage to her right side.[11]
She suffered two collisions in 1917, one with S.S. New Abbotshall and another with H.M.T. Isaac Watton[?]. Lt. James Archibald Hodges, R.N.R. was relieved of command in the wake of these accidents.[12]
