HMS Tipperary was one of six Almirante Lynch-class destroyer that had been ordered from Britain for the Chilean Navy before the start of World War I in 1914. Four of the ships were still construction when the war began and were purchased by the Royal Navy (RN). Completed in 1915 as a Faulknor-class flotilla leader, Tipperary was initially assigned to the Harwich Force, but was transferred in 1916 to the Grand Fleet where she was sunk during the Battle of Jutland.
