Шаблон:Infobox ship imageШаблон:Infobox ship careerШаблон:Infobox ship characteristicsThe first HMS Zulu was a Tribal (or F-) class destroyer launched 16 September 1909 at Hawthorn Leslie Shipyard and commissioned in March 1910. She was mined during the First World War, on 27 October 1916 off Dover in a minefield lain by the Imperial German submarine UC-1. Her stern was blown off and sank, but the forward section remained afloat. It was towed into port and attached to the stern of Шаблон:HMS, which had been torpedoed, to form a new destroyer named Шаблон:HMS.
Construction and design
Zulu was one of five Tribal-class destroyers ordered by the British Admiralty in January 1908 under the 1907–1908 shipbuilding programme for the Royal Navy.[1][2] The Tribal-class destroyers were to be powered by steam turbines and use oil-fuel rather than coal, and be capable of Шаблон:Convert, but detailed design was left to the builders, which meant that individual ships of the class differed greatly.[3][4]
Zulu was Шаблон:Convert long overall and Шаблон:Convert between perpendiculars, with a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a draught of Шаблон:Convert. Normal displacement was Шаблон:Convert, with deep load displacement Шаблон:Convert.[5] Six Yarrow boilers fed steam to Parsons steam turbines, giving Шаблон:Convert and driving three propeller shafts. The main high-pressure turbine drove the centre shaft, with the outer shafts being fitted with low-pressure turbines, together with cruise and astern turbines. The outtakes from the boilers were fed to four funnels. Range was Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[2][5][6][7]
Gun armament consisted of two Шаблон:Convert guns,[lower-alpha 1] with two Шаблон:Convert torpedo tubes comprising the ship's torpedo armament.[7] The ship had a complement of 71.[5]
Zulu was laid down at Hawthorn Leslie's Hebburn, Tyneside shipyard on 18 August 1908. Construction was slowed by industrial action, and the ship was not launched until 16 September 1909,[2] with the ship crossing the River Tyne on launching, colliding with a jetty.[9] After successful sea trials in December 1909, Zulu was commissioned on 19 March 1910.[2]
Service
On commissioning, Zulu joined the 1st Destroyer Flotilla of the Home Fleet. She remained part of the 1st Flotilla until 1913, when she transferred to the 4th Destroyer Flotilla,[2][10] based at Portsmouth.[11] In October that year, the Tribals were officially designated the F class, and as such the letter "F" was painted on the bows of the class.[3][12] In February 1914, the Tribals (including Zulu), whose range was too short for effective open sea operations, were sent to Dover, forming the 6th Destroyer Flotilla.[3][10]
On the outbreak of the First World War the 6th Flotilla formed the basis of the Dover Patrol.[13] Zulu captured the German sailing ship Perhns on 5 August 1914, and collided with sister ship Шаблон:HMS in both August and September that year.[14] On 24 April 1916, Zulu took place in a large scale operation off the Belgian coast to lay mines and nets, in an attempt to limit use of the ports of Ostend and Zeebrugge to German U-boats. Zulu and Шаблон:HMS laid lines of dan-buoys to mark to positions for the minefields and nets to be laid.[15] In total, 1,565 mines were laid by the minelayers Princess Margaret, Orvietto, Paris and Biarritz. The minefield probably caused the loss of one U-Boat, Шаблон:SMU,[16] although at the time it was thought that four or five German submarines had been sunk. The destroyer Шаблон:HMS was badly damaged by shellfire from German coast-defence batteries, while one drifter, Clover Bank, was sunk by a mine.[17]
On 8 November 1916, Zulu was sailing from Dover to Dunkirk when she struck a mine, laid by Шаблон:SMU, that exploded under the ship's engine-room. Three men were killed, and the shipШаблон:'s stern broke off and sunk. Zulu was towed to safety in Calais by the French destroyer Шаблон:Ship.[14][18][19]
It was decided to join the front end of Zulu with the stern of Nubian, another Tribal-class destroyer that had had her bows blown off by a torpedo during the Battle of Dover Strait on the night of 26/27 October 1916. Although these ships were not of identical design, the two sections were joined at Chatham Dockyard to produce a new destroyer, Шаблон:HMS that commissioned on 7 June 1917.[3]
