HMS Ulleswater (or Ullswater) was an Yarrow Later M-class destroyer which fought in the First World War as part of the Royal Navy.[1][2]

She was ordered and laid down in 1916 at Yarrow Shipbuilders, being completed and launched on 4 August 1917.[1][2][3]

In April 1918, the ship was assigned to 'Outer Patrol off Zeebrugge' during the Zeebrugge Raid.

On 15 August 1918, she was sunk by German submarine U-71[4] or UC-17[1][2][5] in the North Sea. Five sailors were reported to have died.[6]

There is a painting of the sinking by the war artist Charles Pears in the Imperial War Museum.[7]
