H.M. T.B. 68 was one of 53 first-class torpedo boats of the 125 Footer class.
Service
She was stationed in Chatham in 1895 as one of eight large torpedo boats of at least 125 feet length and two smaller ones.[6]
She commissioned on 8 July to participate in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1896.[7]
She was placed into Dockyard Reserve at Chatham. In mid-1901, she was to be fitted with Thornycroft water-tube boilers, manufactured at the dockyard.[8]
Around 1906-1907, with the issuance of torpedo boat numbers to the first of the Cricket class torpedo boats, the existing Torpedo Boats numbered 25 to 79 had a "0" prepended to their number. This vessel, therefore, became T.B. 068.[9]
Sold to Ward, Hayle for scrapping on 30 June, 1920 alongside her sister T.B. 66.[10]
