HMS Zephyr was one of two Fervent-class destroyers which served with the Royal Navy. She was launched on 10 May 1895 from Hanna, Donald & Wilson at Paisley, Scotland. She served in home waters, and was sold in 1920.
In August 1901, Zephyr was commissioned at Devonport by the officers and crew of Decoy, whose place she took as instructional tender to Cambridge, gunnery school ship.[11] She was paid off at Portsmouth in April 1902, and docked to be strengthened.[12]
She was sold on 10 February 1920 to Ward at Rainham.
