The 14-in R.L. Mark VI Torpedo was an early British torpedo manufactured by the Royal Laboratory at Woolwich.

Development and History

The genesis and specifics of this torpedo family is a little mysterious, owing to a gap in our primary source documents.

1890

Conversion of these torpedoes to some new standard had completed the conversion of 118 of them and that a good many of these had been sent to Malta's test range for adjustment.[1]

1891

Conversions of R.L. Mark VI continued, with 146 completed thus far.[2]
