H.M. T.B. 80 was built by Yarrow & Company to a design which had been first crafted for Austria's Flake.
Service
She was reboilered in 1888, after which she had two funnels instead of one.[6]
She participated in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1894 as leader of Torpedo Division 2 of the Red Side.[7]
In 1895, she was one of thirteen torpedo boats of 125 feet or greater length and four smaller ones stationed in Devonport.[8] She participated in the 1895 Naval Manoeuvres under the command of Carlyon Wilfroy Bellairs, a man who would not be favoured with many such responsibilities in the naval service, but was found to be "a source of great trouble ... and was certainly not in a fit condition to be sent to an exercise where speed was the first consideration."[9][10]
Sold to J. E. Thomas on 22 October, 1921.[11]
