The India Office ordered seven first-class boats for the Royal Indian Marine based on the 125 Footer class of two years previous, but by 1892, these had still not been delivered. The Royal Navy took them up, renumbering them as T.B. 100-106 in 1901.[1]

Service

In 1895, T.B. 101 was stationed at Calcutta while her sisters were at Bombay.[2]

Common Characteristics

Five 14-in torpedo tubes. Two 1-in twin-barrelled Nordenfeld guns. An alternative armament permitted them to land the tubes for some number of 3-pdr guns.[Inference][3]

Thornycroft Boats

These three boats could make 23 knots and had water-tube boilers and displaced 96 tons. Reboilered soon after 1900. Had been issued R.I.M. numbers 1-3 and names before being taken up by the Royal Navy.

Hanna, Donald & Wilson Boat

T.B. 101 could make 21.5 knots and displaced 92 tons. She was re-boilered in 1905. She had been issued R.I.M. numbers 7 and name Gurkha before being taken up by the Royal Navy.

White Boats

These three boats shared the White "turnabout" stern and were nimble. They could make 22 knots and displaced 95 tons. Had been issued R.I.M. numbers 4-6 and names before being taken up by the Royal Navy.
