H.M. T.B. 65 was one of 53 first-class torpedo boats of the 125 Footer class.

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. 065.[6]

Service

She commissioned on 18 July to participate in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1894 as one of three boats in the Milford Haven Division of the Blue Side.[7]

T.B. 65 was stationed in Chatham in 1895 as one of eight large torpedo boats of at least 125 feet length and two smaller ones.[8]

She commissioned on 8 July to participate in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1896.

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.[9]

Sold to Maden & McKee for scrapping on 2 October, 1919.[10]
