HMS Fervent (1895)

HMS Fervent was a Fervent-class destroyer which served with the Royal Navy. Fervent was launched on 28 March 1895 at Paisley.

She proved slower than originally hoped and even when fitted with new water tube boilers could only make 26.7 kn at her trials. She was accepted for service despite failing to make the 27 kn target. She served in home waters after belatedly leaving her builders, Hanna, Donald & Wilson, in 1901, six years after she was launched.
