| H.M.S. Salmon (1895) | |
|---|---|
| Builder: | Earle[1] |
| Ordered: | 1893-94[2] |
| Laid down: | 12 Mar, 1894[3] |

| Broken up: | 1912[6] |
H.M.S. Salmon was one of forty-two "A" class destroyers built for the Royal Navy — a "27 knotter".
Service
Like many "A" class ships, she was broken up before the war.
Fittings and Performance
Lionel Dawson wrote of his experiences in command of the destroyer.[7]
Like many of her class, the helm was situated behind the platform for the 12-pdr gun, with the helmsman peering ahead through a small gap under the platform and over the foredeck. It was very hard to see. The common workaround was to construct a new wheel on the gun platform and connect it below by shafts and screws. In Salmon, this wheel was actually a training wheel for a 4.7-in gun, and it required 32 revolutions to move the rudder from hard port to hard starboard. Vexingly, the action of this wheel was the opposite to what a ship's wheel ordinarily delivered.
Her eight boilers seemed to be more than enough for her. Dawson's engineer would joke and say that "the last two or three [boilers] only made the deck hot, since the engines could not take up the steam from them."
