Zebra class destroyer

Zebra class destroyer

Only one Zebra class destroyer, HMS Zebra (1895), served with the Royal Navy. She was built by the Thames Ironworks, displaced 310 tons and was 200 feet long. She was armed, as was common with ships of her type, with a twelve pounder and two torpedo tubes. Her White-Forster boilers produced 4,500 h.p. which gave her a top speed of 27 knots.
