HMS Pellew was a Шаблон:Sclass2 which served with the Royal Navy during the First World War. The M class were an improvement on the preceding Шаблон:Sclass2, capable of higher speed. Launched on 18 April 1916, the vessel served with the Grand Fleet escorting convoys. The vessel was part of an unsuccessful attempt by the navy to trap the German submarines that had taken such a heavy toll on merchant shipping in December 1917. The action involved an eight-ship convoy consisting of four merchant vessels escorted by two armed trawlers and the sister ships Pellew and Шаблон:HMS. Instead of submarines, four German destroyers attacked, sinking all but one member of the convoy and disappearing before the light cruisers which were to be the spring in the trap could arrive. Pellew, the sole survivor, took refuge in a Norwegian fjord. After the armistice that ended the war, the destroyer was placed in reserve and subsequently sold to be broken up on 9 May 1921.

Design and development

Pellew was one of sixteen Шаблон:Sclass2s ordered by the British Admiralty in May 1915 as part of the Fifth War Construction Programme.Шаблон:Sfn The M-class was an improved version of the earlier Шаблон:Sclass2 destroyers, designed to reach a higher speed in order to counter rumoured German fast destroyers, although it transpired these vessels did not exist.Шаблон:Sfn

The destroyer was Шаблон:Convert long overall, with a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a draught of Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn Displacement was Шаблон:Convert normal and Шаблон:Convert full load.Шаблон:Sfn Power was provided by three Yarrow boilers feeding two Brown-Curtis steam turbines rated at Шаблон:Convert and driving two shafts, to give a design speed of Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn Three funnels were fitted. Шаблон:Convert of oil were carried, giving a design range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn

Armament consisted of three [[QF 4-inch naval gun Mk IV, XII, XXII|Шаблон:Convert Mk IV QF]] guns on the ship's centreline, with one on the forecastle, one aft on a raised platform and one between the middle and aft funnels. A single 2-pounder (40 mm) pom-pom anti-aircraft gun was carried, while torpedo armament consisted of two twin mounts for Шаблон:Convert torpedoes.Шаблон:Sfn The ship had a complement of 76 officers and ratings.Шаблон:Sfn

Construction and career

Pellew was laid down by William Beardmore and Company of Dalmuir on 28 June 1915 with the yard number 538, launched on 18 May the following year and completed on 30 June.Шаблон:Sfn The vessel was the first to be named after the naval officer Admiral Sir Edward Pellew, 1st Viscount Exmouth.Шаблон:Sfn The vessel was deployed as part of the Grand Fleet, joining the newly-formed Fourteenth Destroyer Flotilla.[1]Шаблон:Sfn

Pellew spent the war escorting convoys, primarily between Britain and Scandinavia. These were often subject to attacks from German submarines. For example. on 16 June 1917 the destroyer was off the coast of Norway escorting a convoy of vessels, including the Danish merchant ship Gunhild, which was sunk by Шаблон:SMU the following day.Шаблон:Sfn On 11 December, while escorting a convoy from Lerwick to Marsden as part of lure to attract German submarines so that they could be attacked by larger light cruisers.Шаблон:Sfn However, when German naval vessels appeared to attack the convoy, the force consisted of four destroyers rather than submarines. At the head of the convoy when these attackers were sighted, Pellew ordered the convoy to scatter.Шаблон:Sfn The destroyer, along with sister ship Шаблон:HMS engaged the German ships, receiving multiple hits. Partridge was sunk, while Pellew was struck in the engine room and the mechanism to launch the aft torpedoes, which was disabled. The ship was only able to launch a single torpedo before the German vessels turned and targeted the convoy, sinking all six merchant ships and the two armed trawlers that accompanied them.Шаблон:Sfn Pellew struggled to Selbjørnsfjorden, taking refuge with the few survivors from the convoy until the arrival of the 1st Light Cruiser Squadron which accompanied the destroyer back to Scapa Flow, arriving on 15 December.Шаблон:Sfn The action led to a reappraisal of the support needed by convoy escorts.Шаблон:Sfn

After the armistice, the Royal Navy returned to a peacetime level of mobilisation. On 17 October 1919, the destroyer was reduced and placed in the Reserve Fleet.[2] Pellew was sold to be broken up by Thos W Ward on 9 May 1921, arriving at Briton Ferry on 5 January 1923.Шаблон:Sfn
