H.M. T.B. 84 was one of six first-class torpedo boats of the T.B. 82 class.
Service
She commissioned on 18 July to participate in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1894 as one of three T.Bs. of the Queenstown Division of the Blue Side.[6]
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.[7]
She was commissioned on 8 July 1896 in order to participate in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1896 under the command of Frank Brandt.[8][9][10]
She was rammed and sunk by the destroyer Ardent during night exercises off Malta on 17 April, 1906.[11] No blame was attached to either commander in the event, but captain Eric Walter Harbord of H.M.S. Foam was faulted for not closing the scene and marking the site. He would be relieved of his command as a result.[12]
