HMS Squirrel (1904)

HMS Squirrel was a coast guard vessel, built in 1904 and acquired by the Royal Navy in 1905 to replace the previous HMS Squirrel (1806). She served in that role until 1917, when she became a cable vessel. From 1905 to 1912 she was a tender for HMS President and possibly HMS Halcyon, and in October 1906 she was recorded as being under the command of Chief Officer C H Coleman. From 1914 to 1917 she was a tender for HMS Vivid, and in February 1914 she was under the command of Chief Officer James B Newman. She was sold on 16 November 1921, and renamed Vedra.
