The 14-in Fiume Mark II Torpedo was an early torpedo manufactured by the Whitehead & Co..
At the start of 1881, Portsmouth had 24 in store. They ended the year with 9.[1]
By the end of 1884, the Royal Navy had purchased 25 of them as it sought to compare Whitehead-manufactured specimens with their domestically licensed weapons built at the Royal Laboratory.[2]
These torpedoes, along with 14-in torpedoes R.L. Marks I-III and the Fiume Mark I were deemed obsolete in 1892.[3]
An extensive report on torpedoes being adjusted at the test ranges shows they are not in use in 1896.[4]
