HMS Hasty was a Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities". which served with the Royal Navy. She was launched by Yarrow Shipbuilders in 1894, served in home waters and was sold off in 1912.[1]
Construction and design
On 12 October 1893, the British Admiralty placed an order for three torpedo boat destroyers (Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities"., Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities". and Hasty) with the shipbuilder Yarrow under the 1893–1894 shipbuilding programme for the Royal Navy as a follow-on to the two prototype destroyers (Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities". and Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities".) ordered from Yarrows under the 1892–1893 programme.[2][lower-alpha 1]
The Admiralty did not specify a standard design for destroyers, laying down broad requirements, including a trial speed of Script error: No such module "convert"., a "turtleback"[lower-alpha 2] forecastle and armament, which was to vary depending on whether the ship was to be used in the torpedo boat or gunboat role.[5] As a torpedo boat, the planned armament was a single QF 12 pounder 12 cwt (Script error: No such module "convert". calibre) gun on a platform on the ship's conning tower (in practice the platform was also used as the ship's bridge), together with a secondary gun armament of three 6-pounder guns, and two 18 inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes. As a gunboat, one of the torpedo tubes could be removed to accommodate a further two six-pounders.[6][7]
Yarrow's design was Script error: No such module "convert". long overall and Script error: No such module "convert". between perpendiculars, with a beam of Script error: No such module "convert". and a draught of Script error: No such module "convert".. Displacement was Script error: No such module "convert". light and Script error: No such module "convert". full load. Two locomotive boilers fed steam at Script error: No such module "convert". to two three-cylinder triple expansion engines.[8] The machinery was rated at Script error: No such module "convert"..[9] Two funnels were fitted.[8]
Hasty was laid down at Yarrow's Poplar, London shipyard in December 1893 as Yard number 993 and was launched on 16 June 1894.[8] She reached a speed of Script error: No such module "convert". during sea trials.[10] She was completed in May 1896, at a cost of £41,141.[8] Locomotive boilers were being made obsolete by water-tube boilers by the time of her completion, and she was refitted at Earle's Shipbuilding in 1899–1890 with water-tube boilers changing to a three-funneled configuration.[8]
Service history
In 1896 Hasty was in reserve at Portsmouth.[11] Hasty took part in the fleet review held at Spithead on 16 August 1902 for the coronation of King Edward VII.[12] In December 1902 she was moved from Portsmouth to Devonport.[13]
Hasty was sold to Cox for scrapping at their Falmouth yard on 9 July 1912.[8]
