The Fantome class was a six-ship class of 4-gun screw composite sloops [1] built for the Royal Navy during 1873 and 1874.

Design

Construction

Fantome and her sister ships were constructed of an iron frame sheathed with teak and copper (hence 'composite').

Propulsion

A two-cylinder horizontal compound-expansion steam engine provided by Humphrys, Tennant & Co. powered an Шаблон:Convert diameter screw. Steam was provided by three cylindrical boilers working at Шаблон:Convert. The indicated horsepower varied from Шаблон:Convert. Daring was fitted with a trunk engine provided by John Penn & Sons.[2]

Sailing rig

All the ships of the class were provided with a full barque rig.

Armament

The Fantome class carried two Шаблон:Convert and two 64-pounder muzzle-loading rifles, all mounted on pivots.

Evaluation

Built at a time of great technological change in naval architecture, these composite sloops were obsolete before they were completed. Nevertheless, they served a useful function on the far-flung stations of the British Empire, including participation in minor wars, such as the Perak War. They were also used for hydrography, and for this reason Egeria was retained until 1911.
