HMS Quail (1895)
HMS ''Quail'' was a B-class torpedo boat destroyer of the British Royal Navy. She was launched by Laird Brothers, Birkenhead, on 24 September 1895. She served in home waters and the West Indies for several years, her robust structure proved by surviving at least one heavy collision. She served during the Great War, and was sold off after the hostilities end, on 23 July 1919. She gave her name to the four strong group of ''Quail''-class destroyers.
==Design and construction==
HMS ''Quail'' was one of four 30-knot destroyers ordered from Laird's as part of the 1894–1895 Royal Navy shipbuilding programme.〔Lyon 2001, pp. 61–62.〕 As with other early Royal Navy destroyers, the detailed design of ''Quail'' was left to the builder, with the Admiralty laying down only broad requirements.〔Chesneau and Kolesnik 1979, p. 87.〕〔Manning 1961, p. 39.〕 In order to meet the contract speed of ''Quail'' was powered by two four-cylinder triple expansion steam engines, fed by four Normand boilers, rated at , and was fitted with four funnels.〔〔Chesneau and Kolesnik 1979, p. 94.〕 She carried the specified armament for the thirty-knotters of 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.〕
''Quail'' was laid down as Yard No 606 on 28 May 1895, and was launched on 24 September 1895.〔Lyon 2001, p. 61.〕 She reached a speed of over a measured mile and an average speed of over three hours during trials on 11 December 1896.〔.〕 ''Quail'' commissioned in June 1897.〔
