HMS Derwent (1903)

HMS Derwent (1903)

HMS "Derwent" was a River class destroyer which served with the Royal Navy.

She was built by Hawthorn Leslie and launched in 1904. She sported the usual flush funnel tops, was 200 feet long and her Yarrow boilers produced 7,000 H.P. and a top speed of 26 knots. She was fitted with sponsons, rather than turbines. She was originally armed with one twelve pounder gun but was upgraded with four such guns. She carried two torpedo tubes. She served in home waters during the Great War and was sunk by a mine in 1917.
