HMAS Countess of Hopetoun (HMVS)
Countess of Hopetoun was a First-Class Torpedo boat built in London. For her long delivery voyage to Melbourne the vessel was rigged as a three masted schooner. Following her commissioning, Countess of Hopetoun participated in exercises conducted on Port Phillip Bay by the Victorian Naval Forces. This saw her launch mock torpedo attacks on other ships including the venerable flagship HMVS Cerberus.
