H.M.S. Sandfly was one of twenty-nine destroyers of the Acheron class.
Radio
She was one of 18 Acheron class destroyers fitted with W/T in 1912, becoming one of 123 destroyers so far fitted with Destroyer Sets.[7]
Service
In mid-1913, she was one of twenty Acheron's with the First Destroyer Flotilla.[8]
Around August 1917, she moved to the Fourth Destroyer Flotilla, which was a component of the Devonport Defence under Commander-in-Chief, Devonport.
In early 1918, Sandfly moved to the Seventh Destroyer Flotilla on the East Coast of England as one of four minelaying destroyers. This proved very short-lived, as by 20 February, the ship was in the Twentieth Destroyer Flotilla, fitted as a minelayer in the "Slow Division".[9]
She was rammed by the Telemachus in thick fog and had her boiler room flooded, requiring an arduous, thirty-six hour tow to harbour.[10]
Sandfly was reduced to C. & M. Party at Devonport, 15 October, 1919.[11]
