HMS Phoenix was a Royal Navy Phoenix-class steel screw sloop, launched at Devonport in 1895.

She had the misfortune to be alongside a coaling pier in Hong Kong on 18 September 1906 when a typhoon struck the colony.

She and her sister ship, Algerine, were designed by Sir William White, the Admiralty Chief Constructor.

[1] Phoenix was provided with a three-cylinder vertical triple-expansion steam engine developing 1,400 indicated horsepower (1,000 kW) and driving twin screws.

[1] Her armament consisted primarily of six 4-inch quick-firing guns weighing a ton each and firing a 25-pound (11 kg) shell.
