| Unit / Ship / Est.: HMS Scott |
Mike: HMS Scott was launched on 18 October 1917 but wouldn't see a year of active service, for on 15 August 1918 she was sunk off the Dutch coast. The cause of sinking is unclear, it is assumed that a German U-boat torpedoed and sunk her, however it is also possible that she hit a mine. Regardless of cause, the German submarine UC-17, which had been patrolling and mining the area, is usually credited with her sinking |
| Action : Naval Accident |
During the war there were a number of Naval Accidents which we have isolated because of their shocking caualties and the corresponding impact on members of the craft. There were a number of vessels destroyed in port by explosions which we would today categorise as 'Health & Safety' failures.
