 HMS Grampus (1910) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HMS Grampus was a Beagle-class destroyer of the Royal Navy and originally named HMS Nautilus when she was commissioned on March 30, 1910.
She was renamed Grampus on December 16, 1913, her former name being reallocated to HMS Nautilus, the first Royal Navy submarine to be given one.
The troops were ill-supplied and ran critically short of drinking water in the actions that followed; on August 8, HMS Grampus cut one of its own water tanks loose and floated it ashore, which allowed the men who recovered it about a pint (0.5 litre) each.
