About: Salmon-class destroyer

An Entity of Type: Torpedo Boat Destroyer, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Salmon class were two destroyers built by Earle's to an Admiralty specification for service with the Royal Navy. Under the 1893–1894 Naval Estimates, the British Admiralty placed orders for 36 torpedo-boat destroyers, all to be capable of 27 knots (50 km/h; 31 mph), the "27-knotters", as a follow-on to the six prototype "26-knotters" ordered in the previous 1892–1893 Estimates. As was typical for torpedo craft at the time, the Admiralty left detailed design to the builders, laying down only broad requirements. In May 1912 they were sold for breaking up.

  • The Salmon class were two destroyers built by Earle's to an Admiralty specification for service with the Royal Navy. Under the 1893–1894 Naval Estimates, the British Admiralty placed orders for 36 torpedo-boat destroyers, all to be capable of 27 knots (50 km/h; 31 mph), the "27-knotters", as a follow-on to the six prototype "26-knotters" ordered in the previous 1892–1893 Estimates. As was typical for torpedo craft at the time, the Admiralty left detailed design to the builders, laying down only broad requirements. HMS Salmon and HMS Snapper were launched in 1895. They displaced 305 tons, were 200 feet (61 m) long and their Yarrow boilers produced 3,600 hp (2,700 kW) which gave them the intended top speed of 27 knots. They were armed with one 12-pounder gun and two torpedo tubes. They carried a complement of 53 officers and men. In May 1912 they were sold for breaking up. In 1913 all surviving similar vessels built to the same requirement were reclassified as the A-class torpedo boat destroyers. (en)
