H.M.S. Talbot (1895)
Pendant Number: D.61 (1914)
P.61 (Sep 1915)
P.A7 (Jan 1918)[1]
Builder: Devonport Royal Dockyard[2]
Ordered: 1893-94 Programme[3]
Laid down: 5 Mar, 1894[4]

Commissioned: 15 Sep, 1896[6]

Fate: Scrapped

H.M.S. Talbot was commissioned in 1897 as one of nine Eclipse class cruisers completed for the Royal Navy.

Service

On 10 October, 1907, a number of officers were appointed to Talbot for exercises, including Herbert J. O. Millar.[8]

In mid-1913, she was with Third Fleet, temporarily attached to the Seventh Destroyer Flotilla.[9]

Talbot was reduced to Reserve Commission 7 October, 1913.[10]

As part of the Channel Fleet, Talbot started a refit on 10 March 1908. She was projected to emerge on 16 May[11]

Radio

In 1901 while assigned to the China Squadron, the ship was noted as having or being slated to receive a "1 to 52" W/T set.[12]

Alterations

In 1905 the ship was rearmed with a single calibre main battery of 6-in B.L. guns in place of the existing mixed battery of 6-in and 4.7-in Q.F. guns. [13]

Captains

Dates of appointment are provided when known.

Trimmer seems to contradict Norbury.

Torpedoes

In 1904, in a competition to investigate how rapidly submerged tubes could be fired four times sequentially, starting with the tube loaded and the bar out, the ship's crew was able to do this in 2 minutes, 48.5 seconds.  The best time was achieved by Cressy at 50.75 seconds, though times of 3-5 minutes were more typical.[53]
