HMS Ferret (1893)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

HMS Ferret was a Ferret class destroyer which served with the Royal Navy. She was armed with one twelve pounder and two bow torpedo tubes. Later in her career she was fitted out for boom breaking as an experiment. Her forebridge, gun and bow tube were removed and the turtle backed forecastle was strengthened for this purpose.
