HMS Boomerang was a Sharpshooter-class torpedo gunboat of the Royal Navy, built by Armstrong Whitworth at Elswick on the Tyne. She was launched on 24 July 1889 as HMS Whiting and was renamed Boomerang on 2 April 1890. She served in the Auxiliary Squadron of the Australia Station and arrived in Sydney with the squadron on 5 September 1891, after a period at Sheerness in April of that year. She left the Australia Station on 22 August 1904 and was sold for 1,900 pounds at Portsmouth in July 1905. The English Wikipedia article for her is short and states no machinery, so her propulsion and engine class are not recorded here.
