HMS ''Recruit'' was a Clydebank three funnel - 30 knot destroyer ordered by the Royal Navy under the 1895 – 1896 Naval Estimates. She was the fifth ship to carry this name since it was introduced in 1806 for an 18-gun brig-sloop, sold in 1822.〔Jane 1898, pp. 84–85.〕 ==Construction== The British Admiralty's 1895–1896 shipbuilding programme included orders for 20 "thirty-knotter" torpedo-boat destroyers, with four destroyers ordered from the Clydebank shipbuilder J & G Thomson.〔Lyon 2001, p. 67.〕 Thomson's design was an enlarged version of their successful "twenty seven-knotter" design with more powerful engines to reach the higher contract speed.〔〔Friedman 2009, p. 52.〕 The design had an overall length of and a length between perpendiculars of , with a beam of and a draught of . Design displacement was light and full load. Four Normand boilers fed steam at to triple expansion steam engines rated at and driving two propeller shafts.〔〔Friedman 2009, p. 291.〕 Three funnels were fitted.〔 80 tons of coal were carried, giving a range of at .〔 The ship had a complement of 63 officers and men.〔Manning 1961, p. 41.〕 Armament was specified as 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), backed up by five 6-pounder guns, and two 18-inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes.〔Lyon 2001, pp. 98–99.〕〔Friedman 2009, p. 40.〕 ''Recruit'' was laid down as Yard Number 290 on 18 October 1895 and launched on 22 August 1896. Like the other Thomson destroyers built under the 1895–1896 programme, she had problems making her contract speed of 30 knots, and was therefore lengthened by , giving an overall length of and a length between perpendiculars of . Displacement increased to light and full load. She was completed and accepted by the Royal Navy in October 1900, the last of this group to be completed.〔 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 Recruit (1896)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
