HMS ''Hornet'' was a torpedo boat destroyer of the British Royal Navy. She was launched in 1893 and sold in 1909 for scrapping. Although the torpedo boat destroyers were ordered first, ''Havock'' and ''Hornet'' were completed faster, making them the first destroyers ever built.
==Design and construction==
In April 1892, the British Admiralty sent out a request to several shipbuilders for designs and tenders for "large sea going torpedo boats", or what later became known as "torpedo boat destroyers".〔Brown 2003, p. 137.〕 In July 1892, it was decided to place an order with the two specialised torpedo-boat builders, Yarrows and Thornycroft for two ships each, with Yarrows' two ships named and ''Hornet''. While both Yarrow ships were powered by triple-expansion steam engines driving two shafts, they differed in the boilers used, with ''Havock'' using 2 conventional locomotive-type fire-tube boilers while ''Hornet'' used 8 Yarrow water tube boilers. (This resulted in ''Havock'' having 2 funnels while ''Hornet'' was fitted with 4 funnels). Gun armament consisted of a single 12 pounder () gun, three 6 pounder (57 mm) guns, while torpedo armament consisted of three torpedo tubes, with one fixed bow tube and two deck mounted tubes,〔Chesneau and Kolesnik 1979, p. 90.〕 with the two deck-mounted tubes in a single rotating mounting, pointing in opposite directions, so that enemies on either beam could be attacked at the same time.〔Friedman 2009, p. 41.〕
