H.M. T.B. 72 (1885)
Builder: Yarrow[1]
Launched: 1885[2]
Broken up: 1914[3]
H.M. T.B. 72 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. 072.[4]

Service

In 1895, she was one of eight large torpedo boats of at least 125 feet length and two smaller ones stationed in Chatham.[5] She participated in the 1895 Naval Manoeuvres, but on their conclusion had to remain in Pembroke along with T.B. 95 and "it was anticipated that quite three weeks would elapse before they would be ready to proceed."[6]
