| 説明 | A contemporary builder’s model of ‘91’ Class Torpedo Boat No.93 at the Science Museum, South Kensington, 15 November 2008. Following Thornycroft’s pioneer torpedo boat HMS Lightening (Torpedo Boat No.1) of 1878, several one-off designs by various builders followed until the Admiralty decided to develop ‘groups’ of TB’s where builders had free reign to design their own TB’s as long as they followed a standard length and armament. Several groups, each of a different standard length, followed. One of the later groups was the ‘140 footers’ of which ten were ordered from four different builders who specialised in torpedo boat (and destroyer) designs: three boats each from Thornycroft, Yarrow and J Samuel White and one from Laird, each reflecting their builder’s design concepts.Thornycroft’s design was the 91 Class, three of which were built in 1893-94 at their Chiswick yard. The class had a 2,400 hp triple expansion compound engine, a maximum speed of 23-24 kts, measured 140 ft x 15.5 ft x 5.3 ft, had a displacement of a 130 tons and were armed with 3x3 pdrs and 3x14” TT (one fixed in the bow + twin tubes [originally just one] on a turntable). TB93 was completed in 1893. Her two sisters (TB91 & 92) had a single screw but No.93 had twin screws, the first TB to have such. She was also the first vessel to have a flattened stern and she had novel steering arrangements. However, whilst TB91 & 92 survived long enough to serve in WWI, TB93 did not. |
