The thirty-six Cricket Class Torpedo Boats were originally dubbed "coastal destroyers", but were reclassified as first-class torpedo boats before 1907.

The first twelve ordered were given names but were re-numbered - confusingly - as T.B. 1-12 as part of the denigration to torpedo boats.

Two additional orders of twelve boats each followed, and these boats never had names, but only numbers T.B. 13-36.[1]

Armament

  • Two 12-pdr guns.
  • Three 18-in single tubes on the centreline, one right aft.
