She was to have been named HMS Ranger, but was renamed prior to her launch. She was broken up in 1864. * was an Ant-class iron screw gunboat launched in 1872 and sold in 1908. * HMS Badger (1911) was an Acheron-class torpedo boat destroyer launched in 1911 and sold in 1921. Shore establishment * HMS Badger (shore establishment) was commissioned in 1939 as the headquarters of the Flag Officer In Charge, Harwich. The site was decommissioned in 1946, but the facility remained an emergency port control until 1992. Hired armed vessels * His Majesty's hired armed cutter shared in the prize money for Dutch vessels captured at the Vlieter Incident on 30 August 1799. * His Majesty's hired armed cutter Badger served the Royal Navy under contract between 16 November 1811 and 13 May 1814. Excise cutter * His Majesty's Excise Cutter Badger was recorded as capturing the French privateer lugger Calaifen between Folkestone and Dungeness on 5 December 1798. * His Majesty's Excise Cutter Badger brought into Yarmouth on about 16 December 1803 a French privateer armed with one swivel gun and having a crew of 35 men. * His Majesty's Revenue cutter Badger captured the smuggling lugger Iris on 12 November 1819 for which her commander and crew received substantial prize money. * His Majesty's Revenue cutter Badger captured the smuggler Vree Gebroeders a yawl-rigged cutter on 13 January 1823. Subterranean vessel * During the summer of 2012, the inflatable "HMS Badger 1" was utilised by a group of British cavers to cross various flooded stretches of caves on the Vercors Plateau of France. The vessel appears to have been retired from cave exploration, however its operators have yet to comment on whether a "HMS Badger 2" could be launched on the Vercors or in a similar environment in the future. Replica * HMS Badger is a 35 ft replica gunboat, converted from a Great Lakes lifeboat and launched in 2001. She operates from Penetanguishene on the Canadian side of Lake Huron. (en)
