Weekly Photo - HMS Jasuer
🕑 Added 2024-02-26 10:00:03 +0000 UTCA somewhat forgotten class of ships, Jasuer was part of the Alarm class of torpedo gunboats, one half of the predecessors to the true destroyer, whilst the RN didn't have a huge amount of luck with the type, most of them went on to give good service in WW1 in secondary roles such as minesweeping, Jaseur herself though stayed mostly in UK waters and was sold out of service in 1905, barely a decade after she'd commissioned.

A bunch of the Torpedo Gunboats were converted to the RN's first dedicated minesweepers and served in the Kaiser War as such

a somewhat odd but still pleasant looking warship. I like the little bridge platform and how it looks like it has a horn orchestra amidships

Why does it have so many air intakes? Is there a turbo underneath?
