HMS Radstock was the first in a class of sixty two {{sclass2-|R|destroyer (1916)|0}} destroyers. The ship was launched on 8 June 1916 and served with the Grand Fleet of the Royal Navy during World War I. While undertaking escort duties, the destroyer collided with the merchant ship Volute, but otherwise had an uneventful war, and was sold to be scrapped on 29 April 1927. Design{{Main|R-class destroyer (1916)|l1=R-class destroyer}}Radstock was originally ordered by the British Admiralty in May 1915 as part of the Sixth War Construction Programme as one of eighteen {{sclass2-|M|destroyer (1913)|0}} destroyers. However, the ship was equipped with geared turbines and became the prototype for the R-class.[1]The ship was {{convert|265|ft|m|2}} long between perpendiculars, with a beam of {{convert|26|ft|7|in|m}} and a draught of {{convert|9|ft|8|in|m|2}}. Displacement was {{convert|975|LT|t}} normal and {{convert|1035|LT|t}} deep load. Power was provided by three Yarrow boilers feeding two Brown-Curtis geared steam turbines rated at {{convert|27000|shp|kW|abbr=on}} and driving two shafts, to give a design speed of {{convert|36|kn}}.[2] Three funnels were fitted. {{convert|296|LT}} of oil were carried, giving a design range of {{convert|3450|nmi}} at {{convert|15|kn}}.[3] Armament consisted of three {{convert|4|in|mm|abbr=on|adj=on}} Mk IV QF guns on the ship's centreline, with one on the forecastle, one aft on a raised platform and one between the second and third funnels.[3] A single 2-pounder (40 mm) pom-pom anti-aircraft gun was carried, while torpedo armament consisted of two twin mounts for {{convert|21|in|mm|0|abbr=on|adj=on}} torpedoes.[2] Fire control included a single Dumaresq and a Vickers range clock.[4] The ship had a complement of 82 officers and men.[1] ServiceRadstock was laid down by Swan Hunter & Wigham Richardson at Wallsend on the River Tyne in September 1915 and launched in June 1916.[1] On commissioning, Radstock joined the newly created 15th Destroyer Flotilla of the Grand Fleet.[5] The destroyer carried out escort duties and was found jointly culpable for a collision with the merchant ship Volute, which was leading a convoy that Radstock and sistership {{HMS|Undine|1917|2}} were escorting, on 12 April 1918.[6]Radstock remained part of the 15th Destroyer Flotilla at the end of the war.[7] After the Grand Fleet was disbanded, the ship was recommissioned with Reduced Complement on 15 October 1919 and based at Port Edgar.[8] The destroyer was sold to Thos W Ward on 29 April 1927 to be broken up at Grays.[9]Pennant numbers
