HMS Havock was a Havock-class torpedo boat destroyer of the British Royal Navy built by the Yarrow shipyard.

[1] Havock was armed with a single 12-pounder gun mounted on a pedestal at the conning position, an exposed location that was extremely wet in even moderately rough weather.

Three 6 pounder QF guns were mounted, with two either side of, and slightly abaft of, the conning position, and the third placed near the stern just aft of the torpedo tubes.

[2] Lieutenant H. C. J. R. West was appointed in command on 1 March 1902,[7] and shortly thereafter commissioned her for service with the Medway Instructional Flotilla.

[8] Her officers and crew were transferred to the destroyer Haughty in early May 1902,[9] and she was commissioned on 8 May as tender to Wildfire, the shore establishment at Sheerness.
