HMS Fervent (1895)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HMS Fervent was a Fervent class destroyer which served with the Royal Navy. She proved slower than originally hoped and even when fitted with new water tube boilers could only make 26.7 knots at her trials. She was accepted for service despite failing to make the 27 knot target. She served in home waters after belatedly leaving her builders, Hanna, Donald & Wilson, in 1901, six years after she was launched.
