H.M. T.B. 31 (1885)
Builder: Yarrow[1]
Launched: 1885[2]
Sold: 1913[3]
H.M. T.B. 31 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. 031.[4]

Service

Commissioned as tender to Template:UK-2Valorous in June 1886 for flotilla manoeuvres.[5][6]

In 1895, she was one of four first-class torpedo boats stationed at Bermuda.[7]
