HMS Trent (1877) : ウィキペディア英語版 | HMS Trent (1877)
HMS ''Trent'' was a launched in 1877. She was the fifth ship of the Royal Navy to be named after the River Trent. She was renamed HMS ''Pembroke'' in 1905, and served off the coast of Tanganyika in 1915. She was renamed HMS ''Gannet'' in 1917 while serving as a diving tender. She was scrapped in 1923. ==Design== The ''Medina'' class were a development of the Rendel (or "flat-iron") gunboat, a series of small vessels with low freeboards which mounted a small number of relatively large guns. Although the ''Medina''s were exceptionally provided with masts to extend their range and independence, in essence they were available for similar operations to their un-masted sisters; offensive action against shore defences. Their ungainly appearance led them to be described by the naval historian Antony Preston as "the most grotesque craft ever seen".〔Gunboat (2007) p.167〕 All 12 vessels of the class were named after rivers. They were constructed entirely of iron and were fitted with an unusual bow rudder.〔
