HMS Nubian (1909)

HMS Nubian (1909)

HMS "Nubian" was a Royal Navy Tribal class destroyer. Her bows were destroyed by a torpedo from a German destroyer on the night of 26-27 October 1916 off Folkestone. She was taken in tow and run ashore near Dover.

Another Tribal class destroyer, "Zulu" had her stern blown off by a mine near Dunkirk on 8 November 1916 and towed to Calais. Both wrecks were towed to Chatham Dockyard and the undamaged portions joined where "Zubian" was constructed out of the bows of "Zulu" and the mid-section and stern of "Nubian".

"Zubian" served until the end of the war, sinking the mine-laying U-boat "UC-50" on 4 February 1918 off the coast of Essex, and was broken up at Sunderland in 1919.
