Service

In 1881, there were twenty T.B.s in all;  T.B. 20 was partly fitted for Whitehead and one of eleven boats serving out of Portsmouth.[4]

In July, 1904, complaints from Vice-Admiral Noel of the China Station about the condition of his T.B.s and T.B.D.s prompted a review of his assets by First Lord of the Admiralty Selborne. Within, it was noted that T.B. 20 was simply "non-effective".[5]
