H.M. T.B. 79 (1886)
Builder: Yarrow[1]
Yard Number: 733[2]
Launched: 1886[3]
Completed: December 1886[4]
Sold: 19 November, 1919[5]
H.M. T.B. 79 was one of 53 first-class torpedo boats of the 125 Footer class.

Construction

T.B. 79 was a modified version of Yarrow's other 125 footer torpedo boats. Her hull form was changed to improve her steering qualities and she was fitted with a triple-expansion engine instead of the compound expansion engines used in the other 125 footers.[6][7]

Despite her modified design she was completed ahead of the final standard 125 footer T.B. 78.[8]

Service

In 1895, she was one of twenty-three torpedo boats of at least 125 feet in length stationed in Portsmouth along with four smaller ones.[9]

Reboilered in 1901.[10]

In commission at Portsmouth, December 1905.[11]

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. 079.[12]

In commission at Chatham, December 1906.[13]

In commission with a nucleus crew at Sheerness, April 1910.[14]
