Main article: Thirteenth D.F. (Royal Navy) at the Battle of Jutland

Ten destroyers of the Thirteenth under the lead of the light cruiser Champion screened the First Battle Cruiser Squadron during the battle, bolstered by two destroyers temporarily detached from the Tenth Destroyer Flotilla. Eight of these vessels delivered a torpedo attack against the enemy battle cruisers at about 4.15pm, after gun and torpedo battle with enemy destroyers who were similarly tasked.

They were organised as follows:[5][6]

At the same time, Nepean remained in harbour and Paladin, Negro, Nereus, Penn and Penn were in dockyard hands.[7]

March, 1919

The massive post-war reorganization of the destroyer flotillas eradicated the Thirteenth and sent its assets to various new purposes.[45][46]

Flotilla is Dis-established

Champion has been relegated to "Miscellaneous" status in port, and in April would wind up in Rosyth.

Fifth Destroyer Flotilla would grab the the seven "R" class destroyers.

The new Second Destroyer Flotilla has taken up flotilla leader Valentine as well as destroyers Vectis, Vega, Venetia, Verulam, Vesper, Vidette, Vimiera, Violent, Walpole Wessex, Westcott, Westminster, Winchelsea, Windsor and Wolfhound.

Third Destroyer Flotilla has snared flotilla leader Valkyrie and destroyers Vendetta, Verdun, Viceroy, Wakeful, Whitley and Woolston.

Drill and Practice

In 1916, sixty-six test runs of the flotilla's 21-in Mark II torpedos in the first half of that year proved 77% probable to endanger the enemy.[47]
