HMS Velox (1902)
HMS ''Velox'' was a turbine-powered torpedo boat destroyer (or "TBD") of the British Royal Navy in 1899 by Hawthorn Leslie and Company at Hebburn on the River Tyne. ''Velox'' was built speculatively by Hawthorn Leslie and Company with machinery by Parsons Marine, being launched in 1902, and was purchased by the Royal Navy, entering service in 1904. ''Velox'' served in the First World War, being sunk by striking a mine in 1915.
==Design and construction==
The British Admiralty, eager to investigate the use of steam turbines in warships, ordered the experimental destroyer from Parsons Marine in 1898, and purchased , also turbine-powered, built as a private venture by Armstrong Whitworth, in 1900.〔Lyon 2001, pp. 30–31.〕 Both ships were quickly lost however, with ''Viper'' running aground off Alderney on 3 August 1901,〔Lyon 2001, p. 30〕〔Friedman 2009, p. 304.〕 and ''Cobra'' broke in half while on her delivery voyage on 19 September 1901.〔Brown 2003, p. 184.〕〔 The Admiralty was still keen to adopt turbines, and so decided to buy a turbine-powered destroyer that was being built as a private venture by Parsons, the ''Python''.〔Friedman 2001, p. 61.〕
''Python'' had been laid down at Hawthorn Leslie and Company's Hebburn, Tyneside shipyard (as for ''Viper'', Parsons had sub-contracted build of the hull to Hawthorn Leslie, with the ship's machinery to be provided by Parsons) on 10 April 1901 and launched on 11 February 1902.〔
