She was built by John I. Thornycroft & Company at Chiswick and was launched on 7 February 1894. [1] Although fitted with multiple torpedo tubes, her bow tube proved useless in practice as — while running at high attack speeds — the ship was prone to overtake its own torpedo. The clumsy tube also reduced living quarters and made the bridge very prone to flooding. Decoy was lost in a collision with Arun off the Scilly Islands on 13 August 1904[2] while taking part in night exercises.[3] One man was killed while the remaining 40 members of the crew were rescued by Arun and Sturgeon. [3] Courts martial regarding the sinking were subsequently assembled aboard the battleship Conqueror. The first, on 22 August[4], attributed blame on the commander of Arun. The second, an appeal, was held on 30 August[5], and dismissed the charge of neglect but confirmed the charge of hazarding both vessels.
