HMS Ossory was an Admiralty M-class destroyer built for the Royal Navy during the First World War.

The turbines developed a total of 25,000 shaft horsepower (19,000 kW) and gave a maximum speed of 34 knots (63 km/h; 39 mph).

The ships carried a maximum of 237 long tons (241 t) of fuel oil that gave them a range of 2,100 nautical miles (3,900 km; 2,400 mi) at 15 knots (28 km/h; 17 mph).

[2] Ossory was ordered under the Third War Programme in November 1914 and built by John Brown & Company at Clydeside.

[7] On 10 December 1916, Ossory, was one of three destroyers that were attached to the 4th Light Cruiser Squadron, and sent to patrol between Shetland and Norway in an attempt to intercept the German liner Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm, which was about to leave safe harbour in Tromsø to return to Germany.
