HMS Chamois was a Palmer three-funnel, 30-knot destroyer ordered by the Royal Navy under the 1895–1896 Naval Estimates. She was the first ship of the Royal Navy to carry this name.[1][2] She was commissioned in 1897 and served in both the Channel and the Mediterranean. She foundered in 1904 after her own propeller pierced her hull.

Construction

She was laid down on 28 May 1896 as yard number 713 at the Palmer shipyard at Jarrow-on-Tyne and launched on 9 November 1896. During her builder's trials she met her contracted speed requirement. Chamois was completed and accepted by the Royal Navy in November 1897.[1][2]

Service

Chamois returned to Portsmouth with her shaft bent in early 1900. She was commissioned for service in the Channel Fleet on 15 March 1900,[3] but he and the crew transferred to HMS Sylvia only days later as the Chamois needed further repairs.[4] She was re-commissioned at Portsmouth on 5 September 1901, with the crew of Шаблон:HMS, to replace that vessel on the Mediterranean Station.[5] She was later deployed as a tender to the destroyer depot ship Шаблон:HMS at Malta.[6] In September 1902 she visited Nauplia and Souda Bay with other ships of the fleet,[7] and in early January 1903 there was a similar three-weeks cruise in the Greek islands around Corfu.[8]

Loss

On 26 September 1904, she was the victim of a bizarre accident. While conducting a full-power trial[9] in the Gulf of Patras off the Greek coast she lost a propeller blade. The loss of the blade unbalanced the shaft, which was spinning at high speed. The resulting vibration broke the shaft bracket and tore a large hole in the hull. She sank by the stern[10][11] in Шаблон:Convert of water[9] about Шаблон:Convert from the coast north of the modern village of Araxos.[12] All hands were saved,[6] but two men were injured with one of them dying the following day.[13]
