Career

In September 1914, Miranda was selected as an "M class T.B.D." to join Third Destroyer Flotilla as the half-flotilla leader and be fitted with a Mark II W/T set, longer mast, No. 2 set of flags and two additional signal ratings.[6][7]

At the Battle of Dogger Bank on 24 January 1915, Miranda fired a torpedo at 11:00am from 5,500 yards with 135R and 20 knot target, securing (it was believed and reported) a hit under the bridge of its target.[8]
