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

Skate was the first of the Royal Navy's destroyers to be disposed of, being first used for trials of anti-torpedo guns off Shoeburyness in 1906, and then sold for scrap on 9 April, 1907 to Cox, Falmouth.[7][8]
