The 14-in R.L. Mark III Torpedo was an early British torpedo manufactured by the Royal Laboratory.
A total of just 48 were manufactured between 1882-83, a particularly short life span. Production then switched right over to the Mark IV 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]
