The Battle Fleet of the GRand Fleet has been identified by its squadrons and flotillas. It is now time for Beatty’s Battlecruiser fleet.
Following is the Order of Battle for the Battlecruiser Fleet part of the Grand Fleet:
British Grand Fleet
The Battlecruiser Fleet
| 1st Battlecruiser Squadron | 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron | 5th Battle Squadron | 1st Light Cruiser Squadron |
| HMS Lion | HMS New Zealand | HMS Barham | HMS Galatea |
| HMS Princess Royal | HMS Indefatigable | HMS Valiant | HMS Phaeton |
| HMS Queen Mary | HMS Warspite | HMS Inconstant | |
| HMS Tiger | HMS Malaya | HMS Cordelia | |
| 2nd Light Cruiser Squadron | 3rd Light Cruiser Squadron | Seaplane Carrier | |
| HMS Southampton | HMS Falmouth | HMS Engadine | |
| HMS Birmingham | HMS Yarmouth | ||
| HMS Nottingham | HMS Birkenhead | ||
| HMS Dublin | HMS Gloucester | ||
| 1st Destroyer Flotilla | |||
| HMS Fearless | HMS Defender | ||
| 1st Division 1st Destroyer Flotilla |
2nd Division 1st Destroyer Flotilla |
||
| HMS Acheron | HMS Badger | ||
| HMS Ariel | HMS Lizard | ||
| HMS Attack | HMS Goshawk | ||
| HMS Hydra | HMS Lapwing | ||
| 9th Destroyer Flotilla – attached Harwich Destroyers | |||
| 1st Division 9th Destroyer Flotilla |
2nd Division 9th Destroyer Flotilla |
||
| HMS Lydiard | HMS Moorsom | ||
| HMS Liberty | HMS Laurel | ||
| HMS Landrail | HMS Morris | ||
| 13th Destroyer Flotilla | |||
| Flotilla Leader: | HMS Champion | ||
| 1st Division 13th Destroyer Flotilla |
2nd Division 13th Destroyer Flotilla |
3rd Division 13th Destroyer Flotilla |
|
| HMS Obdurate | HMS Nestor | HMS Narborough | |
| HMS Nerissa | HMS Nomad | HMS Pelican | |
| HMS Temagant | HMS Nicator | HMS Petard | |
| HMS Moresby | HMS Onslow | HMS Turbulent | |
The Battlecruiser Fleet is now sorted I think. There were less issues with its OOB than there was with the Battle Fleet. The two destroyers, HMS Termagant and HMS Turbulent were attached to then 13th Destroyer Flotilla from the 9th Flotilla, the Harwich force.
I’m looking forward to getting some paint on these.
The next step will be to sort the High Seas Fleet of Germany.
