HMS Tyrant

HMS Tyrant was the a Yarrow Later M-class destroyer, or Yarrow R-class, destroyer that served in the Royal Navy during the First World War. The Later M class was an improvement on those of the preceding Yarrow M class, with a narrower beam. Launched in 1917, Tyrant joined the Eleventh Destroyer Flotilla of the Grand Fleet. In 1918, the flotilla took part in one of the final sorties of the war. After the Armistice that ended the war, the ship was briefly placed in reserve before being allocated to the stone frigate Fisgard in 1925. Ten years later, Tyrant participated in a fleet review to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of George V. Subsequently, the destroyer was allocated to be tender to the destroyer Saladin before being sold to be broken up in 1939.
