H.M.S. Zephyr was one of thirty-six 27 Knotters, a broad meta-class of early Torpedo Boat Destroyers built for the Royal Navy in the 1890s.

Service

She was one of twenty-seven T.B.Ds. of the Portsmouth Flotilla to participate in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1909.[8]

In October, 1913 T.B. 10 collided with Zephyr. The torpedo boat's Lieutenant & Commander, Arthur Edward Hext Wright was told to be more careful in future.[9]

She left the Nore to exercise with five other destroyers and seven torpedo boats of the Nore Local Defence Flotilla on 18 June, 1912.[10]

In mid-1913, Zephyr was at The Nore.[11]
