HMS Dragon (1894)

HMS Dragon was a Banshee-class destroyer of the Royal Navy.

She was launched on 15 December 1894 at the Laird, Son and Co. shipyard, Birkenhead,[1] and served most of her time in the Mediterranean before being sold off in 1912.

From 1900 she was stationed in the Mediterranean as a tender to the battleship Royal Oak and then to the torpedo-boat depot-ship HMS Orion (renamed Orontes from 1909).

[2] In April 1902 she took part in gunnery and tactical exercises near Arucas, Las Palmas.
