HMS Fervent (1895)

HMS Fervent (1895)

HMS "Fervent" was a Fervent class destroyer which served with the Royal Navy. "Fervent" was launched on March 28 1895 at Paisley. ["The Times (London)", Friday, March 29 1895, p.8]

She proved slower than originally hoped and even when fitted with new water tube boilers could only make 26.7 knots at her trials. She was accepted for service despite failing to make the 27 knot target. She served in home waters after belatedly leaving her builders, Hanna, Donald & Wilson, in 1901, six years after she was launched.
