HMS Salmon was a Salmon-class destroyer which served with the Royal Navy. She was launched in 1895, served in home waters and was sold off in 1911.
In late 1901 Salmon was damaged in an accident, and temporarily repaired at Harwich by shipwrights from Sheerness Dockyard in December 1901. The following month she was paid off at Sheerness, and ordered into dry dock for repairs. She underwent repairs later in 1902.
