HMS Fervent was a Fervent-class destroyer which served with the Royal Navy. Fervent was launched on 28 March 1895 at Paisley.[2]
She proved slower than originally hoped and even when fitted with new water tube boilers could only make 26.7 knots (49.4 km/h) at her trials. She was accepted for service despite failing to make the 27-knot (50 km/h) target. She served in home waters after belatedly leaving her builders, Hanna, Donald & Wilson, in 1901, six years after she was launched.
