Modernizations: None.

Ardent, Fortune (both by gunfire of German battleship Westfalen) and Shark (by German gunfire and torpedoes) were sunk at Jutland, Sparrowhawk collided there with leader Broke and was sunk by torpedo from leader Manxman. Lynx was mined in Moray Firth, mine was laid by German minelayer Meteor.
