H.M.S. Plucky (H.M.S. Banterer after June, 1915) was a prototype flatiron gunboat built for the Royal Navy.
Construction & Service
Plucky was the first iron vessel built at Portsmouth Royal Dockyard.[3] She was a minor improvement on the preceding prototype, Staunch, in that she was thirteen tons heavier, which permitted her to have finer ends. Still, the design was notably stubby.[4]
The three Devonport-based gunboats Scourge, Plucky and Bulldog were among the ships invited to participate in the Queen's naval Jubilee at Portsmouth in 1887.[5]
Plucky was renamed H.M.S. Banterer in June, 1915. A new destroyer took the name Plucky in mid-1916.
Banterer paid off at Devonport 13 December 1918.[6]
