Construction
T.B. 72 was one of the first Yarrow 125 footers to be completed, being ready for trials in July 1886.[6]
Service
When commissioned for service during the 1887 Naval Manoeuvres she was commanded by future First Sea Lord Charles Madden, then a junior Lieutenant.[7]
In 1895, she was one of eight large torpedo boats of at least 125 feet length and two smaller ones stationed in Chatham.[8] 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."[9]
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.[10]
Though not listed as being extant in Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships, 1906-1922, Lyon and Winfield's Steam and Sail List reports her being sold for scrapping to Ward, Rainham on 19 December, 1919.[11][12]
