The six first-class torpedo boats of the T.B. 82 Class were Yarrow & Company built, displacing 85 tons on a length of 130 feet. Some sources refer to them as the 130 Footers.

They were similar to T.B. 79 but had a turtle back forecastle. They proved too light in construction, and required strengthening.

Armament

Originally, these boats may have been considered for provision with alternative armament schemes, as in the 125 Footers, but in 1888 a decision was made to abolish this practice.[1]

A single (bow-mounted?) tube for 14-in Whitehead torpedoes and two 1-in twin barrelled Nordenfelds. By 1900, they may have been rearmed with two 14-in torpedoes in dropping gear and 0.45-in, 5-barrelled Nordenfelds.[2]
