The Banshee class was a class of three torpedo boat destroyers that served with the Royal Navy into the early part of the Twentieth century. Under the 1893–1894 Naval Estimates, the British Admiralty placed orders for 36 torpedo-boat destroyers, all to be capable of 27 knots (50 km/h; 31 mph), the "27-knotters", as a follow-on to the six prototype "26-knotters" ordered in the previous 1892–1893 Estimates. As was typical for torpedo craft at the time, the Admiralty left detailed design to the builders, laying down only broad requirements.

| - The Banshee class was a class of three torpedo boat destroyers that served with the Royal Navy into the early part of the Twentieth century. Under the 1893–1894 Naval Estimates, the British Admiralty placed orders for 36 torpedo-boat destroyers, all to be capable of 27 knots (50 km/h; 31 mph), the "27-knotters", as a follow-on to the six prototype "26-knotters" ordered in the previous 1892–1893 Estimates. As was typical for torpedo craft at the time, the Admiralty left detailed design to the builders, laying down only broad requirements. The three ships, Banshee, Contest and Dragon were all built by Laird at Birkenhead. Displacing 290 tons, they carried one 12-pounder gun and two torpedo tubes. With 4,400 horsepower (3,300 kW) they made a speed of 27 knots (50 km/h). The ships had a length of 210 ft (64 m), beam 19 ft (5.8 m) and draught of 7 ft (2.1 m) and carried a complement of 53 officers and men. Along with the near-identical Ferret-class torpedo boat destroyers they were all disposed of in 1911/1912. (en)
