H.M. T.B. 56 (1885)
Builder: Thornycroft[1]
Launched: 1885[2]
Sunk: 17 May, 1906[3]

H.M. T.B. 56 was one of 53 first-class torpedo boats of the 125 Footer class.

Around 1906-1907, with the issuance of torpedo boat numbers to the first of the Cricket class torpedo boats, the existing Torpedo Boats numbered 25 to 79 had a "0" prepended to their number. This vessel, therefore, became T.B. 056.[4]

Service

In 1895, she was one of ten first-class T.B.s stationed in Malta.[5]
