HMS Cameleon or HMS Ossory

A number of Royal Navy service records for ratings administered by the Depot ship identified in the table below show two (sometimes three) destroyer names across the dates of the Battle of Jutland. Further research is to be conducted relating to the history and programmes of the relevant destroyers in order to seek to understand whether each man was serving in a Jutland ship. Ships shown with links were at Jutland. Ratings impacted by these ships have been given a status of B (blue) on the Battle of Jutland Crew Lists project.

HMS Cameleon, an Acorn class destroyer, was a member of the 2nd DF attached to depot ship HMS Blake but was detached to HMS Vivid (Devonport) in Jan 1916 where she remained until Dec 1916 when she joined the Adriatic squadron.

HMS Ossory, an M-class destroyer, was completed and joined the 11th DF in November 1915.
