HMS Ulysses was a Royal Navy modified R-class destroyer constructed and then operational in the First World War.
The destroyer was built by William Doxford & Sons in Sunderland and launched 24 March 1917.[1] The vessel was sunk following a collision on 29 October 1918 with the SS Ellerie in the Firth of Clyde.[2][3][a] However she sank without loss of life, with the ship's crew being rescued by the drifter Ivy III.[5][4] Due to wartime security restrictions her sinking position is unknown.[5] It is stated that the collision occurred in fog.[6]
