Service

In 1881, there were twenty first-class torpedo boats in all, and T.B. 10 was "fitted for Whitehead" and one of eleven boats serving out of Portsmouth.[6]

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

T.B. 10 was sold, presumably for scrapping, at Malta in 1904.[8]
