The Greek torpedo boat Pergamos (Greek: TA Πέργαμος) served in the Royal Hellenic Navy from 1919–1941. Originally the ship was the Austro-Hungarian 250t-class "F"-group torpedo boat SMS Tb 95-F. She was named for the ancient Greek city of Pergamon (today known as Bergama) located in Anatolia; the city was part of the territory awarded at the end of World War I in the Treaty of Sèvres to Greece for being on the Allied side.
The ship, along with two sister ships of Fiume-class torpedo boats Panormos and Proussa was transferred to Greece as a war reparation from the Central Powers in 1919.[1]
