HMS ''Ghurka'' was a ''Tribal''-class destroyer built in 1907 for the Royal Navy. She served as part of the Dover Patrol during the First World War, playing a part in the sinking of the German submarine in 1915, and was sunk by a German mine in 1917.
==Construction and design==
HMS ''Ghurka'' was ordered from Hawthorn Leslie as one of five Tribal-class destroyers purchased under the 1905–06 shipbuilding programme.〔Friedman 2009, p. 108.〕 The Tribals derived from a requirement by the First Sea Lord "Jackie" Fisher, for a steam turbine powered, oil-fueled destroyer capable of at least . Armament was specified as three 12 pounder (3 inch, 76 mm) 12 cwt guns and two 18 inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes. The Hawthorn Leslie design for ''Ghurka'' was powered by steam turbines fed by five Yarrow boilers, driving three propeller shafts and rated at . The ship was fitted with three low funnels.〔〔Gardiner and Gray 1985, pp. 71–72.〕〔Friedman 2009, pp. 106–108.〕 A high pressure turbine drove the centre shaft, while the exhaust steam from this turbine fed two low-pressure turbines on the outer shafts. Separate cruising turbines were also fitted to the outer shafts. Two of the 12 pounder guns were mounted on the ship's forecastle, with the remaining gun situated aft.
''Ghurka'' was laid down at Hawthorn Leslie's shipyard at Hebburn on the River Tyne on 6 February 1906 and launched on 29 April 1907.〔Friedman 2009, p. 305.〕 She reached an average speed of over a six-hour run during trials, and was completed in December 1908.〔 Prior to commissioning, ''Ghurka''s armament was reinforced by adding another two 12 pounder guns.〔Friedman 2009, p. 110.〕
