HMS Fervent was a Шаблон:Sclass which served with the Royal Navy. Fervent was launched on 28 March 1895 at Paisley.[1]

Construction and design

HMS Fervent was one of two "twenty-seven knotter" torpedo boat destroyers ordered from the Scottish shipyard Hanna, Donald & Wilson on 7 November 1893 as part of the Royal Navy's 1893–1894 construction programme.[2]Шаблон:Refn The Admiralty laid down broad requirements for the destroyers, including a speed of Шаблон:Convert on sea trials, a "turtleback" forecastle and armament, which was to vary depending on whether the ship was to be used in the torpedo boat or gunboat role.[3] As a torpedo boat, the planned armament was a single QF 12 pounder 12 cwt (Шаблон:Convert calibre)Шаблон:Refn gun on a platform on the ship's conning tower (in practice the platform was also used as the ship's bridge), together with a secondary gun armament of three 6-pounder guns, and two 18 inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes. As a gunboat, one of the torpedo tubes could be removed to accommodate a further two six-pounders.[4][5][6]Шаблон:Refn Detailed design was left to the builders (although all designs were approved by the Admiralty), resulting in each of the builders producing different designs rather the ships being built to a standard design.[7][8]

Fervent was Шаблон:Convert long overall and Шаблон:Convert between perpendiculars, with a beam of Шаблон:Convert[2][9] and a draught of Шаблон:Convert.[10] Displacement was Шаблон:Convert normal and Шаблон:Convert full load.[9] As originally built, the ship was powered by two triple expansion steam engines rated at Шаблон:Convert, fed from two locomotive boilers, with the boilers' outtakes ducted together into a single funnel.[11]Шаблон:Refn

Fervent was laid down at Hanna, Donald & Wilson's Paisley yard on 27 March 1894 and launched on 20 March 1895,[2] with construction being slowed by the unusually cold winter of 1894–1895.[12] The fire-tube locomotive boilers chosen by Hanna, Donald & Wilson were prone to leaks in their copper water-jacketed fireboxes,[13] and the two ships were unable to reach the required speed. In August 1897, it was agreed to replace the locomotive boilers with four Reed water tube boilers, which resulted in the ships' single funnels being removed and replaced by four funnels. Despite the revised machinery, Fervent and sister ship Шаблон:HMS were still unable to reach the contract speed of 27 knots, with Fervent only make Шаблон:Convert at her trials, but were eventually accepted into service, with Fervent completing in June 1901.[14][15][16]

Service

Fervent served in home waters after belatedly leaving her builders, Hanna, Donald & Wilson, in 1901, six years after she was launched. The ship took part in the 1901 Naval Manoeuvres.[17] Lieutenant Cecil Halsted France-Hayhurst was appointed in command in March 1902,[18] but the ship was temporarily paid off at Portsmouth the following month to be strengthened,[19] after she and her sister suffered hull damage below the waterline while being driven into a head sea in heavy weather in the English Channel.[20] With France-Hayhurst transferred to attend a signal course,[19] Lieutenant Walter Reginald Glynn Petre was appointed in command of Fervent on 21 June 1902,[21] when she joined the Portsmouth instructional flotilla.

Between 1910 and 1912, Fervent served as part of the Sixth Destroyer Flotilla based at The Nore.[22] Fervent ran aground on the Maplin Sands on 26 November 1910. Her commanding officer was reprimanded in the resulting Court Martial.[23] On the way to the Court Martial, Fervent ran into a mooring buoy in Sheerness harbour, damaging her stem so that she had to go into dry dock for repair.[24] On 9 August 1912 a cutter carrying 23 Boy Scouts capsized off the Isle of Sheppey, with nine boys drowned. Fervent ferried the bodies of eight of the dead back to London.[25] On 30 August 1912 the Admiralty directed all destroyers were to be grouped into classes designated by letters based on contract speed and appearance. After 30 September 1913, as a 27-knotter, Fervent was assigned to the A class.[26][27][28]

By February 1913, Fervent was not part of an active flotilla, but was attached as a tender to the torpedo school at Chatham, with a nucleus crew,[29] although she was in full commission by May 1913.[30] She remained part of the torpedo school based at Chatham on the eve of the outbreak of the First World War.[31]

By February 1915, Fervent was listed as part of the Local Defence Flotilla based at The Nore.[32] The destroyer was still a member of the Nore Defence Flotilla at the end of the war in November 1918.[33]

In January 1919, Fervent was listed as being temporarily at the Nore, and not part of any flotilla, in January 1919.[34] Fervent, along with the destroyers Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS, was paid off at Chatham on 26 April 1919.[35] Fervent was offered for sale in April 1920,[36] and sold to Thos. W. Ward for scrapping at their Rainham works on 29 April 1919.[28]
