They were refinements of lessons learned in T.B. 25.

Armament
A single bow-mounted tube for 14-in Whitehead torpedoes. By the early 1900s, this had been removed.[1]
Two 3-pdrs and two 2-barrel Nordenfeld M.G.s (some of these, possibly just the Nordenfelds, were replaced by 0.45-in 5-barrel M.G.s)[2]
An alternative armament permitted them to land the 3-pdrs for two "pairs" of deck torpedo tubes, which almost certainly means just two tubes.[Inference][3]
