The HMS Thunder Child was the torpedo ram warship of the British Royal Navy that is famous for sacrificing itself in order to protect the mass of refugee shipping evacuating people from the Essex coast as the attacking Martians approach. Her valiant efforts result in the destruction of two Tripods and allow the refugee fleet to escape, including the paddle-steamer carrying the narrator's brother and his two female travelling companions.
