H.M. T.B. 14 (1879)
Builder: Yarrow & Company[1]
Ordered: c. March 1878[2]
Launched: 1879[3]
Broken up: 1904[4]
H.M. T.B. 14 was one of 19 first-class torpedo boats of the T.B. 1 class.

Service

In service, T.B. 14 proved to be one of the fastest and most seaworthy of the early British torpedo boats, but her accomodations were wretched, even by the standards of torpedo boats.[5]

In 1881, there were twenty first-class torpedo boats in all. T.B. 14 was not fitted for Whitehead, and was one of three boats serving out of Chatham. There was some noted lethargy in getting these boats all armed.[6]

During the crisis following the Panjdeh Incident in 1885, T.B. 14 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.[7]

Commissioned as tender to the paddle frigate Valorous in May 1886 for flotilla manoeuvres.[8][9]

In 1895, she was one of four torpedo boats of less than 125 feet in length stationed in Portsmouth along with twenty-three larger ones.[10]
