HMS Mary Rose was an Admiralty M-class destroyer that served in the Royal Navy during the First World War. The M class was an improvement on those of the preceding L class, capable of higher speed. The destroyer was armed with three single QF 4 in (102 mm) guns and four tubes for 21 in (533 mm) torpedoes. Launched in October 1915, the destroyer served with the Twelfth Destroyer Flotilla of the Grand Fleet. Mary Rose was sunk on 17 October 1917 by the German light cruisers SMS Brummer and SMS Bremse in an action approximately 70 miles (110 km) east of Lerwick while escorting a convoy of twelve merchant ships from Norway.
