HMS Leven (1898)
HMS ''Leven'' was a Fairfield "30-knotter" destroyer of the Royal Navy, later classified as part of the C class. It was built in 1898–1899, and served with the Royal Navy through to the First World War, sinking a German U-boat in 1918. ''Leven'' was sold for scrapping in 1920.
==Construction==
HMS ''Leven'' was ordered from the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, Govan, Glasgow, as part of the British Admiralty's 1897–1898 shipbuilding programme, one of six "Thirty-Knotter" destroyers ordered in that programme, at a contract cost of £52,407.〔Lyon 2001, pp. 23–24.〕〔Lyon 2001, p. 89.〕 As with other early Royal Navy destroyers, the design of ''Leven'' was left to the builder, with the Admiralty laying down only broad requirements.〔Chesneau and Kolesnik 1979, p. 87.〕〔Manning 1961, p. 39.〕
''Leven''s design was a near repeat of the three Thirty-Knotters (''Fairey'', ''Falcon'' and ''Gipsy'') ordered as part of the previous 1896–1897 construction programme, with four Thornycroft boilers feeding a triple-expansion steam engine, and three funnels being fitted.〔〔Chesneau and Kolesnik 1979, pp. 95, 97.〕 The ship had the standard armament of the Thirty-Knotters, i.e. a 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), with a secondary armament of five 6-pounder guns, and two 18-inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes.〔Lyon 2001, pp. 98–99.〕〔Friedman 2009, p. 40.〕
''Leven'' was laid down as Yard No 405〔 on 24 January 1898 and launched on 28 June 1898. During her builder's trials the ship made its contracted speed requirement. She was completed and accepted by the Royal Navy in July 1898, and was the third ship to carry this name since it was introduced in 1813 for a 20-gun sixth rate in service until 1848.〔Jane 1898, pp. 84–85.〕〔Moore 1990, p. 76.〕
