Design & Construction

As in the earlier boats, these featured three trainable 18-in tubes on the deck, two on the beams forward and one centreline aft.[1] Three 3-pdr guns were arranged in the same pattern.[2]

In mid-1904, the Royal Navy ordered the replacement of two 5-barrel .45-in Nordenfelt machine guns with .45-in Maxim guns on each of fifty-seven first-class torpedo boats. This figure must have included most or all of this class.[3]

The four White-built boats were larger than the previous two orders for 160-foot T.Bs. at 219 tons, and delivered the same 25 knots.
