HMS Wolverine (1910)

HMS Wolverine (1910)

HMS "Wolverine" was a "Beagle"-class coal-burning destroyer of the Royal Navy launched on 15 January, 1910. At the outbreak of the First World War, "Wolverine" was part of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Destroyer Flotilla involved in the pursuit of the German battlecruiser SMS "Goeben".

In 1915, along with numerous other "Beagle", "River" and "Laforey"-class destroyers, she took part in the naval operations in the Dardanelles Campaign. Work included naval artillery support and the landing of infantry reinforcements, particular at the exposed Anzac Cove beachhead.

On 12 December 1917 "Wolverine" sank following a collision with the fleet sweeping sloop "Rosemary" off the northwest coast of Ireland.
