HMS Sybille was the a Yarrow Later M-class destroyer, or Yarrow R-class destroyer that served in the Royal Navy during the First World War. The Later M class was an improvement on those of the preceding Yarrow M class, with a narrower beam. Launched in 1917, Sybille joined the Tenth Destroyer Flotilla of the Harwich Force. The flotilla was asked with escorting convoys across the North Sea. The destroyer also escorted the monitors Erebus and Terror in their bombardment of Ostend in 1917 and took part in a sortie in 1917 led by the the destroyer leader Montrose. After the Armistice that ended the war, the destroyer was initially placed in reserve and participated in a naval review in 1924, before being sold to be broken up in 1926.
