The Eleventh Destroyer Flotilla was a formation of destroyers of the Royal Navy. The flotilla changed composition often as ships were damaged, retired or transferred.

In 1916, it was comprised of M class destroyers whose 104 torpedo test runs in the first half of that year proved 91% probable to endanger the enemy.[1]]

In 1917, its composition was, in part:[2]

  • Kempenfelt G.10 (flagship)
  • Marne GO.5 (or G.05 per Dittmar/COlledge)
  • Prince G.43
  • Marmion
  • Morning Star
