The 14-in R.L. Mark I Torpedo was an early British torpedo manufactured by the Royal Laboratory.
A total of 236 were manufactured between 1876 and 1880, at which time production was switching over to the Mark II torpedoes.[1]
These torpedoes, along with 14-in torpedoes R.L. Marks I-III and Fiume Marks I-II were deemed obsolete in 1892.[2]
An extensive report on torpedoes being adjusted at the test ranges shows they are not in use in 1896.[3]
