During the Battle of the Scheldt, the Tribals served as a covering force rather than taking the central amphibious role. Their task was to prevent German naval forces from reaching and disrupting the operation. When a German force did attempt to intervene, it encountered British and Canadian Tribal-class destroyers and was driven off decisively. The class's speed and gun power kept enemy ships away from the larger joint campaign.
