HMS Swordfish (1895)
HMS ''Swordfish'' was one of two s which served with the Royal Navy. She was launched on February 27, 1895 by Armstrong Mitchell and Co at Elswick〔''The Times (London)'', Thursday, February 28, 1895, p.4〕 and sold off in 1910.
==Construction==
HMS ''Swordfish'' was ordered on 8 December 1893, the first of two "Twenty-Seven Knotter" destroyers ordered from Armstrong Mitchell and Co as part of the 1893–1894 construction programme for the Royal Navy,〔Lyon 2001, p. 85.〕 with in total, 36 destroyers being ordered from various shipbuilders for this programme.〔Lyon 2001, p. 19.〕
''Swordfish'' was laid down at Armstrong's, Elswick, Newcastle-on-Tyne shipyard on 4 June 1894.〔 Construction was delayed by industrial action and was not launched until 27 February 1895.〔Brooke 1999, pp. 172–173.〕 Sea trials began in March, but excessive vibration caused one of the ship's propeller shafts to be bent. A further attempt at trials in July suffered the same problem, and re-balancing of the ship's machinery was required to resolve the vibration problems. When trials were again attempted, fouling of the ship's hull resulted in the contract speed of 27 knots not being reached,〔Brooke 1999, p. 173.〕 although, eventually, ''Swordfish'' managed to reach an average speed of during her official three-hour trial, when her engines generated .〔''The Engineer'' 23 April 1897, p. 422.〕 ''Swordfish'' was not finally accepted until December 1896, 21 months after the contracted date of 31 March 1895.〔Lyon 2001, pp. 85–86.〕
The two Armstrong-built Twenty-seven knotters were not popular in service,〔Lyon 2001, p. 86.〕〔Friedman 2009, p. 44.〕 with Armstrongs not being invited to tender for the Thirty-knot destroyers required in the next few shipbuilding programmes.〔Lyon 2001, p. 24.〕〔Brooke 1999, pp. 171.〕
