HMS Hoste was a Parker-class flotilla leader of the Royal Navy. She was built by Cammell Laird during the First World War, completing on 13 November 1916, but was lost in a collision with the destroyer Шаблон:HMS on 21 December that year.

Construction and design

In July 1915, the British Admiralty ordered three Шаблон:Sclasss (i.e. large destroyers intended to lead flotillas of smaller destroyers in action), Hoste, Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS, from the Birkenhead shipyard Cammell Laird. The Parker-class[lower-alpha 1] was an improved version of the earlier Шаблон:Sclass with the ships' bridge moved rearwards, and an improved gun layout.[2][3]

The Parkers were Шаблон:Convert long overall and Шаблон:Convert between perpendiculars, with a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a draught of Шаблон:Convert.[1][4] Displacement was between Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert normal[lower-alpha 2] and about Шаблон:Convert full load.[2] Four Yarrow boilers fed steam to three sets of Parsons steam turbines, rated at Шаблон:Convert and giving a speed of Шаблон:Convert. Three funnels were fitted.[2] Шаблон:Convert of oil fuel were carried, giving a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[5]

The ship's main gun armament consisted of four [[QF 4 inch naval gun Mk IV, XII, XXII|QF Шаблон:Convert Mk IV guns]] mounted on the ships centreline, with the forward two guns superfiring so that one could fire over the other, with one gun between the second and third funnel and one aft.[2][5] Two 2-pounder (40 mm) "pom-pom" anti-aircraft guns were fitted, while torpedo armament consisted of two sets of twin 21 inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes.[2] The standard anti-submarine armament for flotilla leaders such as Hoste from June 1916 onwards was two Type D depth charges on chutes. This was not increased until after HosteШаблон:'s loss.[6] The ship's complement was 116 officers and men.[2][lower-alpha 3]

Hoste, named for William Hoste,[7] was laid down on 1 July 1915,[8] launched on 16 August 1916 and commissioned on 13 November 1916.[2]

Service

On commissioning, Hoste joined the Thirteenth Destroyer Flotilla, part of the Grand Fleet,[2] with the pennant number G90.[1] On 19 December 1916, the Grand Fleet left Scapa Flow to carry out exercises between Shetland and Norway. On the morning of 20 December, Hoste suffered a failure of her steering gear at high speed, almost colliding with several other ships, and was detached to return to Scapa with the destroyer Шаблон:HMS as escort. At about 01:30 hr on 21 December, in extremely poor weather, with gale-force winds and a heavy sea, HosteШаблон:'s rudder jammed again, forcing the ship into a sudden turn to port. Negro, following about Шаблон:Convert behind, collided with Hoste. The collision knocked two depth charges off HosteШаблон:'s stern which exploded, badly damaging the rear end of Hoste and blowing in the bottom of NegroШаблон:'s hull, flooding her engine room.[2][9] Negro sank quickly, and despite the efforts of the destroyer Шаблон:HMS to rescue survivors,[10] 51 officers and men of NegroШаблон:'s crew were killed.[11] Marmion and Шаблон:HMS attempted to tow the crippled Hoste back to Scapa, but after three hours, Hoste began to founder. Despite the severe conditions, Marvel went alongside Hoste to rescue the crew of the sinking ship, and when repeatedly forced apart by the heavy seas, repeated the manoeuvre another twelve time. While Marvel sustained damage to her forecastle from repeated impacts between the two ships, she managed to rescue all but four of HosteШаблон:'s crew before Hoste finally sank.[12][11] Eight officers and 126 men were rescued by Marvel.[13]

Wreck

In August 2023, the wrecks of Hoste and Negro were located and identified. Hoste is lying at a depth of Шаблон:Convert in two pieces, the stern section about Шаблон:Convert from the main wreck, in approximately 59°16’N 1°55’W, Шаблон:Convert south of Fair Isle.[14][15]
