H.M.S. Ranger (1895)
Pendant Number: D.1A (Sep 1915 - Apr 1917)[1]

Ordered: 1893-94[3]
Laid down: 17 Sep, 1894[4]
Launched: 4 Oct, 1895[5]

H.M.S. Ranger was one of thirty-six 27 Knotters, a broad meta-class of early Torpedo Boat Destroyers built for the Royal Navy in the 1890s.

She was one of a select few destroyers of her era who served through the Great War despite their obsolete nature.

Service

Ranger departed Chatham Dockyard for a three-hours trial of her engines on the morning of 1 April, 1896. She averaged 27.172 knots over the entire trial at the meaasured mile at Maplin Sands, experiencing less vibration than in similar vessels.[8]

Ranger was one of seventeen destroyers of the Reserve Division which left Sheerness on 1 July, 1905 for Spithead under the overall command of Commander R. G. Gregory in H.M.S. Spitfire.[9]

She and sixteen other destroyers of the Reserve Division arrived at Sheerness on 13 July 1905 and proceeded to Chatham.[10]

Lieutenant-in-Command Lloyd was faulted in a 1911 collision between Ranger and the Spit Refuge Buoy, for he had not made sufficient allowance for tide.[11]
