HMS *Nessus* was a British Royal Navy destroyer built during World War I and launched in 1918. It was lost in the Pentland Firth, North Sea, likely due to the treacherous tidal conditions in the area; no detailed records of the loss, casualties, or cargo are available, but its wreck remains a historically significant wartime maritime site.
