HMS Tempest (H71)
HMS ''Tempest'' was an destroyer of the Royal Navy, built by Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company at Govan on Clydeside and launched on 26 January 1917 during the First World War.
After commissioning, ''Tempest'' joined the Tenth Destroyer Flotilla as part of the Harwich Force in April 1917. On 23 April 1918, ''Tempest'' participated in the First Ostend Raid, for which she formed part of "Unit X" which sailed from Dover and escorted the blockships from the Goodwin Sands until they reached a smoke screen which had been laid by motor launches off Ostend. After that they joined the Dunkirk-based destroyer flotilla in supporting the small craft inshore, "within close range of the enemy's heavy batteries".〔Keys, Roger, Vice Admiral Sir, and Terry, C Sanford (editor) 1919, (''Ostend and Zeebrugge, April 23: May 10, 1918'' ), Oxford University Press (pp. 166-167)〕 ''Tempest'' remained with the Tenth Flotilla at Harwich until its dispersal in February 1919.〔 In October 1919, she was recommissioned with a reduced compliment.
In October 1930, ''Tempest'' was used to repatriate the bodies of 48 men who had been killed in the crash of the R101 airship near Beauvais in France. The bodies were carried by ''Tempest'' from Boulogne-Sur-Mer to Dover, from where they were taken by rail to lie in state at Westminster Hall.
She was finally sold for scrapping on 28 January 1937 and broken up at Briton Ferry.
