HMS Tigress (1911)

HMS Tigress was an Acheron-class destroyer of the Royal Navy that served during World War I.

She was built under the 1910–11 shipbuilding programme by R. W. Hawthorn Leslie & Company of Hebburn, was launched on 20 December 1911 and was sold for breaking on 9 May 1921.

The German ships outgunned their opposition, sinking the two monitors, M28 and Raglan, but subsequently ran into a minefield.

He proceeded into the minefield to engage a superior force of enemy destroyers and drove them back to their base.

He again entered the minefield at great risk to his ship, and gallantly rescued 162 survivors of the "Breslau" whilst still being fired on from shore batteries.Tigress was present at the entry of the Allied Fleet through the Dardanelles on 12 November 1918.
