HMS Urchin was a modified Admiralty {{sclass2-|R|destroyer (1916)|0}} destroyer which served with the Royal Navy. It was the third ship in the Navy to be named after the sea urchin and the first in the class to be built by Palmers in Jarrow. It was launched in 1917 and served with the Grand Fleet during World War I, seeing action in the Second Battle of Heligoland Bight.

Design

Urchin was {{convert|276|ft|m|2}} long overall, with a beam of {{convert|27|ft|m}} and a draught of {{convert|11|ft|m|2}}.[1] Displacement was {{convert|1085|LT|t}}.[2] Power was provided by three Yarrow boilers feeding two Parsons geared steam turbines rated at {{convert|27000|shp|kW}} and driving two shafts, to give a design speed of {{convert|36|kn}}.[1] Two funnels were fitted, two boilers exhausting through the forward funnel. {{convert|296|LT}} of oil were carried, giving a design range of {{convert|3450|nmi}} at {{convert|15|kn}}.[3]

Armament consisted of three QF 4in Mk IV guns on the ship's centreline, with one on the forecastle, one aft on a raised platform and one between the funnels. They could elevate to 30°.[2] 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.[1] Fire control included a single Dumaresq and a Vickers range clock.[4] The ship had a complement of 82 officers and men.[2]

Service

Urchin was one of ten {{sclass2-|R|destroyer (1916)|0}} destroyers ordered by the British Admiralty in March 1916 as part of the Eighth War Construction Programme and was launched in June 1917.[3] On commissioning, Urchin joined the Thirteenth Destroyer Flotilla of the Grand Fleet.[5]

On 17 November 1917, Urchin took part in the Second Battle of Heligoland Bight in support of the 1st Cruiser Squadron, led by Vice-Admiral Trevylyan Napier in {{HMS|Courageous|50|2}}.[6] The destroyer formed part of small flotilla led by sistership {{HMS|Ursa|1917|2}}, commanded by John Tovey, that attacked the German ships with torpedoes.[7]

At the end of World War I, the destroyer was still part of the Thirteenth Destroyer Flotilla under the cruiser {{HMS|Champion|1915|2}}.[8] but was reduced to reduced complement on 8 February 1919.[9] Urchin was sold to Metal Industries of Charlestown, Fife on 7 January 1930 and broken up.[10]
