Шаблон:Infobox ship imageШаблон:Infobox ship careerШаблон:Infobox ship characteristicsШаблон:Infobox service recordHMS Electra was a Clydebank-built, three-funnelled, 30-knot destroyer ordered by the Royal Navy under the 1895–1896 Naval Estimates. She was the fourth ship to carry this name since it was introduced in 1806 for a 16-gun brig-sloop.[1][2]
In 1913 she was grouped along with similar vessels as a Шаблон:Sclass2.
Construction
She was laid down as yard number 289 on 18 October 1895, at J & G Thompson shipyard in Clydebank, and launched on 14 July 1896. During her builder's trials, she had problems attaining her contract speed. Her hull was lengthened by Шаблон:Convert, then she made her contract speed of Шаблон:Convert. She was completed and accepted by the Royal Navy in July 1900.[1][2]
Service
After commissioning Electra was assigned to the Chatham Division of the Harwich Flotilla. She was deployed in home waters for her entire service life. On 1 January 1901 she was commissioned by Lieutenant Bertram Sutton Evans as part of the Portsmouth instructional flotilla, taking the place and crew from Шаблон:HMS,[3] but he was succeeded in command only two weeks later by Lieutenant Cecil Dacre Staveley Raikes.[4] In June 1902 she took the place of Шаблон:HMS in the Portsmouth instructional flotilla,[5] under the command of Lieutenant Rowland Henry Bather,[6] but he transferred to Шаблон:HMS after two months.[7] The destroyer took part in the fleet review held at Spithead on 16 August 1902 for the coronation of King Edward VII.[8]
On 30 August 1912 the Admiralty directed all destroyer classes were to be designated by letters. Since her design speed was Шаблон:Convert and she had three funnels, she was assigned with vessels built to the same specification as the C class. After 30 September 1913, she was known as a C-class destroyer and had the letter ‘C’ painted on the hull below the bridge area and on either the fore or aft funnel.[9]
In 1914 she was in active commission at the Nore based at Sheerness tendered to Шаблон:HMS, a Royal Navy training establishment. With the outbreak of hostilities in August 1914 she was assigned to the Nore Local Flotilla. Her duties included anti-submarine and counter-mining patrols in the Thames Estuary.
In 1919 she was paid off and laid-up in reserve awaiting disposal. She was sold on 29 April 1920 to Barking Ship Breaking Company for breaking.[10]
