Britain ordered ten first-class torpedo boats called 140 Footers as it was ordering the first destroyers. Three Yarrow boats were considerably smaller than the others.

Common Characteristics

One fixed 18-in torpedo tube in the bow, and two trainable tubes on the deck.[1]

Three 3-pdrs.[2]

Yarrow Boats

All boats were 105 tons.

T.B. 88 and 89 were slightly longer at 142 feet and could make 23.5 knots on 1850 I.H.P.. T.B. 90 made 23 knots on 1500 I.H.P. produced by a four-cylinder engine and experimental water-tube boilers.

Thornycroft Boats

T.B. 91 and 92 were heavier at 141 tons and made 24.5 knots. T.B. 91's length of 142.5 feet allowed her propellor to be placed further aft. Four-cylinde triple expansion engines and water-tube boilers.

T.B. 93 was 136 tons and was 140.5 feet like T.B. 91. Her twin screws made her a first such T.B. in the Royal Navy.

White Boats

The three White-built boats displaced 130 tons and made 23 knots on 2000 I.H.P. from Maudslay engines. Built with locomotive boilers and reboilered with water tube type a decade later.

T.B. 97

Built by Laird, it's original locomotive boilers were replaced by water tube boilers in 1909. She displaced 130 tons,was 140 feet and 4 inches between perpendiculars and made 23 knots on 2000 I.H.P..
