SMS Rover was a brig built in Great Britain in 1853 by the Royal Dockyard at Pembroke in South Wales for the Royal Navy. In 1862, the Prussian Navy purchased the Rover and, retaining the old name, placed her in service in 1863 as a training ship for ship's boys.[1] She served in this capacity in the Navy of the North German Confederation from 1867 and in the Imperial German Navy from 1872. She was decommissioned in 1890 and sold for demolition in 1911.
^Her sister ship, the Musquito, also built in Pembroke in 1851, was purchased by the Prussian Navy at the same time and was also used as a sail training ship from 1863.
