H.M.S. Falcon was one of forty "C" class destroyers built for the Royal Navy — a "30 knotter".
Service
In mid-1913, Falcon was with the Sixth Destroyer Flotilla.[8]
On 28 October, 1914, while screening the battleship Venerable during bombardment of the Belgian coast, a German 8-in shell struck the muzzle of a 6-pdr and killed her captain, Wauton, and injured fully a third of her crew. Sub-Lieutenant C. J. H. Du Boulay took command and was able to lead her clear of further danger.[9]
