HMS Teazer was a Conflict-class destroyer built by the White shipyard for the Royal Navy. She was launched on 9 February 1895, and sold for scrapping on 9 July 1912.[1]
Service history
In January 1900 it was announced that Teazer would be commissioned as tender to the torpedo school HMS Vernon at Chatham,[2] but she was on 12 February commissioned as tender to the HMS Excellent, gunnery school at Portsmouth.[3] She then served in the Portsmouth instructional flotilla until April 1902, when her crew was transferred to the destroyer Syren, which took her place in the flotilla.[4] Later in 1902, she underwent repairs to re-tube her boilers.[5]
