The 14-in R.L. Mark II Torpedo (or 14-in R.L. II) was an early British torpedo manufactured by the Royal Laboratory.
A total of 131 were manufactured between 1879 and 1882 at which time production switched over to the Mark III torpedo.[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]
Mark II*
25 of these were apparently made by altering Mark II torpedoes, some time before the end of 1884.[4]
