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 HMS Excellent, gunnery school at Portsmouth.[3] Later the same month, she was damaged by running into a jetty, and relieved from tender duties while receiving repairs.[4] She then took up the position as tender to Vernon, serving as such until early 1901.[5] She 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.[6] Later in 1902, she underwent repairs to re-tube her boilers.[7]

Teazer was sold for scrap on 9 July 1912 for £1820.[8][9]
