H.M. T.B. 5 was one of 19 first-class torpedo boats of the T.B. 1 class.

Service

During the crisis following the Panjdeh Incident in 1885, T.B. 5 was put into commission as part of Admiral Phipps Hornby's Particular Service Squadron on 28 April, and was later involved in the year's Annual Manoeuvres at Berehaven.[4]

In 1895, she was one of four T.B.s of less than 125 feet in length and thirteen longer ones stationed in Devonport.[5]

T.B. 5 was sold at Devonport, presumably for scrap, in 1897, although her engine was retained for use at Devonport Dockyard.[6]
