Fervent class destroyer

Fervent class destroyer

Two Fervent class destroyers served with the Royal Navy. HMS Fervent (1895) and HMS Zephyr (1895) were designed and built by Hanna Donald in 1895. The ships displaced 275 tons and were 200 feet long. Their Locomotive (later Reed) boilers generated 3,850 hp which produced a top speed of between 26 and 27 knots. As was usual with ships of their type, they carried one twelve pounder, two torpedo tubes and had a complement of 53 officers and men.

Both ships served in home waters. They originally were designed with one funnel but when they failed to reach their contract speed they were reboilered with four funnels. Because of these problems, the ships did not leave their builders until 1901.
