Four first-class torpedo boats were ordered in 1884 and were called 113-Footers due to their length (which was actually a half foot longer).

T.B. 21 and T.B. 22 were built by Thornycroft and displaced 64 tons and could make 20 knots.

T.B. 23 and T.B. 24 were Yarrow-built boats of 67 tons, capable of 18.75 knots.[1]

Armament

Two (three?) tubes for 14-in Whitehead torpedoes, 1-2 in the bow and one on the deck.[2]

The boats mounted two 3-pdr guns.
