HMS Karakatta (or Karrakatta) was an {{sclass-|Sharpshooter|torpedo gunboat}} of the Royal Navy, launched in 1889. She formed part of the Auxiliary Squadron of the Australia Station from 1890 until 1903, and was sold in 1905.

Design

The Sharpshooter class was designed by Sir William White in 1888. They had a length overall of {{convert|242|ft|m|abbr=on}}, a beam of {{convert|27|ft|m|abbr=on}} and a displacement of 735 tons.^[1] They were engined with two sets of triple-expansion steam engines, two locomotive-type boilers, and twin screws. This layout produced {{convert|2500|ihp|kW|lk=in}} with natural draught and {{convert|3600|ihp|kW}} with forced draught, giving them a top speed of {{convert|19|kn|km/h}}.^[1] They carried 100 tons of coal, giving them a range of about {{convert|2500|nmi|km}} at {{convert|10|kn|km/h}} and were manned by 91 sailors and officers.^[1]

Armament

At build the class was fitted with two QF {{convert|4.7|in|cm|adj=on}}/45-pounder guns and four 3-pounder guns. Five {{convert|14|in|mm|adj=on}} torpedo tubes were fitted, and three reloads were provided.^[1]

Construction and career

Originally named Wizard, she was built by Armstrong Whitworth, Elswick, Tyne and Wear, being laid down as yard number 546 on 17 August 1888.^[1] She was launched on 27 August 1889.^[2]

Renamed Karrakatta on 2 April 1890, and commissioned for the first time in February 1891,^[1] she formed part of the Auxiliary Squadron of the Australia Station. She arrived in Sydney with the squadron on 5 September 1891, and in 1900 was reported as "employed in the protection of the floating trade in Australian waters".^[3] Lieutenant Godfrey Edwin Corbett was appointed in command in November 1900. She left the Australia Station on 4 December 1903, and paid off in April 1904.^[2]

She was sold for £1875 in July 1905 at Portsmouth.^[2]
