Meteor-class aviso
The ''Meteor'' class was a pair of two avisos built by the Imperial German Navy in the late-1880s; the class comprised two ships, and . They were an improvement over the preceding , being slightly faster and armed with quick-firing guns rather than the slower, old-pattern guns used on the earlier ships. ''Meteor'' and ''Comet'' nevertheless proved to be disappointments, primarily a result of extreme vibration caused by their propulsion system, particularly at higher speeds. As a result, their service careers were limited. They served less than two years on active duty, from 1893 to 1895. They returned to limited duty in 1904 as guard ships, but by 1911 they had been stricken from the naval register and used in subsidiary roles. Both were scrapped in 1919–21.
==Design==
The Imperial Navy began building small avisos in the 1880s to serve in the main fleet in German waters. These vessels were intended to support the battle line, and so unlike the contemporary German unprotected cruisers, their designs emphasized offensive capability and high speed rather than a long cruising radius.〔Gardiner, p. 249〕 The design for ''Meteor'' and ''Comet'' was based on the earlier ; they were slightly smaller vessels and displaced around 25% less than the earlier vessels. The savings in weight were used for a more powerful propulsion system, a new gun armament of quick-firing guns, and slightly thicker armor plating.〔 The ''Meteor'' class was the last aviso design produced by the Imperial Navy; by the 1890s, German naval designers had taken the best characteristics of the avisos and the contemporary unprotected cruisers and combined them in the of light cruisers, the first vessels of that type of warship.〔Gardiner, pp. 249, 258〕
