The 14-in R.L. Mark VIII Torpedo was an early British torpedo manufactured first by the Royal Laboratory and later at the Royal Gun Factory when control of the Torpedo Factory at Woolwich was transferred. These torpedoes were now to be stamped "R.G.F" in lieu of "R.L.".[1]
A gap in our primary source materials makes the genesis of the type difficult to state exactly, but production was continuing in 1890 and 230 of the torpedoes were already adjusted.[2]
