HMQS Mosquito
HMQS ''Mosquito'' was a torpedo boat operated by the Queensland Maritime Defence Force and Commonwealth Naval Forces. She entered service in 1885 and after Federation was transferred to the Commonwealth Naval Forces, serving as a training vessel until she was paid off in 1910.
==Construction and design==
Following the Jervois-Scratchley reports the colonial governments of Australia restructured their defence forces. One of the outcomes of the report was the formation of the Queensland Maritime Defence Force. To equip the new force two gunboats and a torpedo boat were initially purchased.
Constructed by Thornycroft of Chiswick, HMQS ''Mosquito'' was launched on 16 July 1884, having been before being completed in 1885. With a gavanised steel hull, she was designed with a top speed of 21 knots; however, was only able to achieve 17.21 knots during trials. The ship was built to a standard design; ''TB 191'' of Tasmania and the New Zealand ''Defender''-class torpedo boats were identical. ''Lonsdale'' and ''Nepean'' of Victoria, built in 1883–1884, were also identical, except in mounting fixed torpedo tubes. Displacing 12 tons, she was long, and had a beam. She had a complement of seven and was equipped with two sets of dropping gear for 14-inch torpedoes. Construction cost 3,500 pounds sterling.
