Résumé
HMS Lively was a torpedo boat destroyer of the British Royal Navy. She was built speculatively by Laird, Son & Company, Birkenhead, pre-empting further orders for vessels of this type, and was bought by the navy in 1901.
On 30 March 1899, the British Admiralty placed an order for two torpedo boat destroyers, Lively and , with the Birkenhead shipyard of Laird, Son & Co, as part of a total of twelve destroyers ordered under the 1899–1900 shipbuilding programme. These two ships were four-funneled and were similar to those ordered from Laird's under the 1894–1895 programme (the ), the 1895–1896 programme (the ) and the 1897–1898 programme ().
Lively was long overall and between perpendiculars, with a beam of and a draught of . Displacement was light and full load. Lively was propelled by two triple expansion steam engines, fed by four Normand boilers, rated at to give the contract speed of 30 knots. Armament was the standard for the 30-knotters, i.e. a QF 12 pounder 12 cwt ( calibre) gun on a platform on the ship's conning tower (in practice the platform was also used as the ship's bridge), with a secondary armament of five 6-pounder guns, and two 18-inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes.
Lively was laid down as yard number 639 on 20 June 1899, launched on 14 July 1900 and completed in April 1902.
HMS Lively was commissioned at Devonport by Lieutenant James Hawksley on 13 May 1902, with the crew of , taking that ship's place in the Instructional flotilla. She took part in the fleet review held at Spithead on 16 August 1902 for the coronation of King Edward VII, and afterwards served as escort to the royal yacht during the King's August 1902 cruise along the British Isles. She was back in the instructional flotilla the following month. Lieutenant Ernest Edward Parker was appointed in command on 19 October 1902.
On 30 August 1912 the Admiralty directed all destroyers were to be grouped into classes designated by letters based on contract speed and appearance.
