'Hope') was an early 20th-century torpedo gunboat of Bulgaria, the largest warship ever possessed by the Royal Bulgarian Navy.

It was often referred to as a cruiser by her Bulgarian owners,[1] a designation that might not be too far-fetched, considering there were indeed smaller torpedo cruisers in service with the European navies of the time, such as the Italian Folgore-class.

Nadezhda was made of steel, built by Chantiers et Ateliers de la Gironde in Bordeaux, France, and was launched in 1898.

[2] Nadezhda served as a royal yacht for the King of Bulgaria, the aft part of her deck house being converted into a lounge.

In September 1918, she was taken to Sevastopol for repairs, but her crew abandoned her there in December that year.
