H.M. T.B. 12 (1878)
Builder: Thornycroft[1]
Launched: 1878[2]
Broken up:
H.M. T.B. 12 was one of 19 first-class torpedo boats of the T.B. 1 class.

Service

In 1881, there were twenty T.B.s in all; T.B. 12 was equipped with an outrigger torpedo (rather than Whitehead) and one of eleven boats serving out of Portsmouth. It was the only boat with an outrigger torpedo.[3]

During the crisis following the Panjdeh Incident in 1885, T.B. 12 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]

She was stationed in Chatham in 1895, one of two T.B.s of less than 125 feet, along with eight of greater length.[5]
