Missing info
[edit]I noticed this article is up for a GAN, but i noticed a signifigant gap in her service history. She was part of Whitworth's squadron during the Action off Lofoten. Likely the most important battle she took part in. She along with the other destroyers in the squadron attempted to engage the German battleships present with their main batteries, but were out of range. None the less the destroyer's presence prevented a german tactical victory, because the German commander mistook the gunfire from the destroyers for that of a second non-existant allied capital ship and theirfore withdrew.XavierGreen (talk) 01:18, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
