The 14-in R.L. Mark I Torpedo was an early British torpedo manufactured by the Royal Laboratory.
A total of 236 were manufactured between 1876 and 1880, at which time production was switching over to the Mark II torpedoes.[1]
These torpedoes, along with 14-in torpedoes R.L. Marks I-III and Fiume Marks I-II were deemed obsolete in 1892.[2]
Mark I*
115 of these were apparently made by altering Mark I torpedoes, some time before the end of 1884.[3]
Mark II*
34 of these were apparently made by altering Mark I or Mark I* torpedoes, some time before the end of 1884.[4]
