Project history: All followed the basic arrangement of the original Thornycroft design with 3 450mm TT and 3 3pdr, both guns and torpedoes being disposed in a triangular layout, one on each side forward and one amidships aft. Though bigger and more seaworthy than their predecessors they were quite overshadowed by the destroyers which were in service in considerable numbers whilst the earliest of these TBs were building.
Slightly larger and more powerful than their predecessors. TB113 was
ordered half a month later than the others.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: No significant events.
