hip project history: These two boats were built for Russia when the Russo-Turkish War and the subsequent war scare caused the Admiralty to purchase them. They were described as 'notoriously shaky and weak in construction', and had to be virtually rebuilt. Their propeller shaft projected underneath the rudder, and their conning towers were aft. They had the usual two funnels abreast, typical of Yarrow boats of the time.
Modernizations: 1880s, both: - 1 x 1 - 356 TT; + 2 - 356 TC
Naval service: TB17 was used for some spectacular 'boom jumping' trials in 1887 at Malta, where she was finally sold.
