HMS Attack was a British Acheron-class destroyer built in 1911 for the Royal Navy. The ship served during World War I and was involved in various operations, including escort duties and anti-submarine patrols. In 1918, HMS Attack was damaged in a collision with a merchant vessel but was repaired and returned to service. After the war, the ship was placed in reserve before being sold for scrap in 1921. This destroyer had a displacement of 730 tons and was armed with three 4-inch guns, two torpedo tubes, and a 12-pounder anti-aircraft gun. HMS Attack had a top speed of 27 knots and a complement of 70 officers and men. The ship's service history reflects the important role destroyers played in naval warfare during the early 20th century, providing escort, patrol, and offensive capabilities in support of larger fleet operations.
