HMS Eden (1903)

HMS Eden was a River class destroyer of the Royal Navy. She was built by Hawthorn Leslie and launched in 1903. She featured flush funnel tops, as did others of her class. She was 220 feet long, displaced around 550 tons and her 7,000 HP Parsons turbines and Yarrow boilers produced 26 knots.

She was armed with one twelve pounder and was later uprated with four. She carried two torpedo tubes. She served in home waters until she was sunk in a collision with SS France in 1916.
