HMS Haughty was a Hardy-class destroyer which served with the Royal Navy. She was launched by William Doxford & Sons on 18 September 1895, served in home waters, and was sold on 10 April 1912.
Construction and design
HMS Haughty was one of the two destroyers ordered from William Doxford & Sons on 3 November 1893 as part of the Royal Navy's 1893–1894 construction programme.[3]
The
Doxford's design had a hull of length 200 feet 3 inches (61.04 m) overall and 196 feet (59.74 m) between perpendiculars, with a beam of 19 feet (5.79 m) and a draught of 7 feet 9 inches (2.36 m). Eight Yarrow boilers fed steam at 185 pounds per square inch (1,280 kPa) to triple expansion steam engines rated at 4,200 indicated horsepower (3,100 kW) and driving two propeller shafts. Displacement was 260 long tons (260 t) light and 325 long tons (330 t) deep load.[3] Unusually for the destroyers ordered under the 1893–1894 programme, the Admiralty accepted a guaranteed speed of 26 knots (48 km/h; 30 mph), rather than the more normal 27 knots, possibly owing to Doxford's inexperience in building torpedo-craft.[8][3] This speed dropped to 22 knots (41 km/h; 25 mph) at deep load. Sufficient coal was carried to give a range of 1,155 nautical miles (2,139 km; 1,329 mi) at 11 knots (20 km/h; 13 mph).[9] Three funnels were fitted.[8] The ship's complement was 50 officers and men.[10]
She was laid down as Yard Number 227 at Doxford's
Service history
Haughty and her sister ship was initially considered for overseas service on the
On 2 July 1908 Haughty was taking part in the annual Naval Manoeuvres when she collided with the destroyer Ranger. While Haughty's bow was only slightly twisted, the damage to Ranger was more severe, with her hull holed.[20]
In 1910 Haughty was a member of the Sixth Destroyer Flotilla as a tender to the shore establishment Vernon.[21]
Haughty was sold for scrap on 10 April 1912.[11][1]
