HMS ''Haughty'' was a which served with the Royal Navy. She was launched by William Doxford & Sons on 18 September 1895, served in home waters, and was sold on 10 April 1912. ==Construction and design== HMS ''Haughty'' was one of two destroyers ordered from William Doxford & Sons on 3 November 1893 as part of the Royal Navy's 1893–1894 construction programme.〔Lyon 2001, p. 82.〕 The Admiralty did not specify a standard design for destroyers, laying down broad requirements, including a trial speed of , a "turtleback" forecastle and armament, which was to vary depending on whether the ship was to be used in the torpedo boat or gunboat role.〔Lyon 2001, p. 20.〕 As a torpedo boat, the planned armament was a single QF 12 pounder 12 cwt ( calibre) gun on a platform on the ship's conning tower (in practice the platform was also used as the ship's bridge), together with a secondary gun armament of three 6-pounder guns, and two 18-inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes. As a gunboat, one of the torpedo tubes could be removed to accommodate a further two six-pounders.〔Lyon 2001, p. 98.〕〔Lyon 2001, pp. 98–99.〕〔Friedman 2009, p. 40.〕 Doxford's design had a hull of length overall and between perpendiculars, with a beam of and a draught of . Eight Yarrow boilers fed steam at to triple expansion steam engines rated at and driving two propeller shafts. Displacement was light and deep load.〔 Unusually for the destroyers ordered under the 1893–1894 programme, the Admiralty accepted a guaranteed speed of , rather than the more normal 27 knots, possibly owing to Doxford's inexperience in building torpedo-craft.〔Chesneau and Kolesnik 1979, p. 91.〕〔 This speed dropped to at deep load. Sufficient coal was carried to give a range of at .〔Friedman 2009, p. 290.〕 Three funnels were fitted.〔 The ship's complement was 50 officers and men.〔Brassey 1902, p. 274.〕 She was laid down as Yard Number 227 at Doxford's Sunderland shipyard on 28 May 1894, and was launched on 18 September 1895.〔 Sea trials were successful,〔Lyon 2001, p. 83.〕 with the ship reaching an average speed of ,〔 and she was completed in August 1896.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Haughty (1895)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
