[ редактировать ]Во время битвы при Джутландии назначенной Петард был одним из десяти эсминцев 13 -й флотилии, для скрининга 1 -й эскадрильи боевого крейсера, после лидерства Light Cruiser HMS чемпиона . Первая помолвка битвы была между британской силой из шести боевых судов и четырех линейных кораблей и более легкими судами под командованием Адмирала Битти и немецкой эскадрильи из пяти битвайзеров плюс сопровождающими судами, которым повелел адмирал Хиппер .
At 4.15pm on 31 May 1916, the opposing fleets sent their destroyers in to deliver a torpedo attack on the opposing line. Petard was one of eight destroyers of the 13th flotilla to respond, along with three destroyers of other formations.[1] The opposing destroyers fought a gun battle in hopes of blunting the enemy's torpedo attack while striving to deliver their own. Petard fired a torpedo on a high speed setting at a group of four German destroyers, possibly achieving a hit from about 3,000 yards range, and a second at a slower speed against the German battlecruisers from a range of about 9,000 yards. Petard then turned roughly parallel to the German battlecruisers but slightly converging, so as to get ahead of the column before once more turning towards the enemy to fire the remaining two torpedoes. Petard reported that her torpedoes must have crossed the enemy line, but did not claim a hit.[2]
Turning back towards the British ships, Petard passed HMS Nestor, which was also returning but at reduced speed because of damage. It now became apparent that further German ships were approaching, which proved to be the main German High Seas Fleet. Proceeding, Petard approached an oil slick where HMS Laurel was picking up survivors from the battlecruiser HMS Queen Mary, sunk by German gunfire, and picked up one man. Approximately 20 survivors in total were rescued from the 1200 man crew. Petard then returned to her station at the head of the battlecruiser line.[3]
N.B.: HMS Petard is erroneously identified in some references as the ship which rammed and sank HMS G9 on the night of 16 September 1917; the ship in question was the destroyer HMS Pasley.[4]
