H.M.S. Lurcher was one of twenty-nine destroyers of the Acheron class.

Service

In mid-1913, she was in the Fourth Destroyer Flotilla.[7]

At the Battle of Heligoland Bight, Lurcher was erroneously feared lost after she'd gone so far into the Ems in search of the enemy. Later, she bolted in to rescue 220 survivors of Mainz.[8]

Reduced to C. & M. Party at Portsmouth on 17 October, 1919.[9]
