SMS Comet was an aviso of the Imperial German Navy, the second and final member of the Meteor class. She had one sister ship, Meteor. Comet was laid down at the AG Vulcan shipyard in 1890, launched in January 1892, and commissioned in April 1893. Like her sister, Comet was plagued by excessive vibration and poor handling, which limited her active duty career. She ended her career as a mine hulk in Emden. After the German defeat in World War I, she was sold for scrapping in 1921.
