HMS Jaguar was a J-class destroyer of the Royal Navy. ConstructionThe eight ships of the J-class were ordered on 25 March 1937, and Jaguar was laid down at the Dumbarton shipyard of Denny on 25 November 1937. She was launched on 22 November 1938 and commissioned on 12 September 1939.[1] Jaguar was {{convert|339|ft|6|in|m}} long between perpendiculars and {{convert|356|ft|6|in|m}} overall, with a beam of {{convert|35|ft|8|in|m}} and a draught of {{convert|9|ft|m|1}}. Displacement was {{convert|1690|LT|t}} standard and {{convert|2330|LT|t}} deep load.[2] Two Admiralty three-drum boilers fed steam at {{convert|300|psi}} and {{convert|620|F}} to Parsons to two sets of Parsons single-reduction geared-steam turbines, rated at {{convert|40000|shp}}. This gave a design speed of {{convert|36|kn}} at trials displacement and {{convert|32|kn}} at full load.[3]As completed, Jaguar had a main gun armament of six {{convert|4.7|in|mm|abbr=on}} QF Mark XII guns in three twin mountings, two forward and one aft. These guns could only elevate to an angle of 40 degrees, and so were of limited use in the anti-aircraft role, while the aft mount was arranged so that it could fire forwards over the ship's superstructure to maximise the forward firing firepower, but was therefore incapable of firing directly aft. A short range anti-aircraft armament of a four-barrelled 2 pounder "pom-pom" anti-aircraft mount and eight .50 in machine guns in two quadruple mounts was fitted, while torpedo armament consisted of ten {{convert|21|in|mm|0}} torpedo tubes in two quintuple mounts.[4] ServiceOn commissioning, Jaguar joined the 7th Destroyer Flotilla based at Grimsby, operating off Britain's east coast. On 11 October, the ship ran aground in the Firth of Forth and was under repair until November.[5] In May 1940, during Operation Dynamo, Jaguar and other destroyers rescued survivors from the sinking of {{SS|Abukir}}.[6][7] In later February 1941 she took part in Operation Abstention, where she engaged the Italian destroyer Crispi off Kastelorizo, disengaging after Crispi scored a {{cvt|40|mm}} hit on her searchlight; that March she took part in the Battle of Cape Matapan. Jaguar was struck by two torpedoes fired by the {{GS|U-652}} and sank off Sidi Barrani, Egypt, {{coord|31|53|N|26|18|E|display=inline}} on 26 March 1942 with the loss of 3 officers and 190 of her crew. 8 officers and 45 crewmen were rescued by the naval whaler HMS Klo.
