Project history Fitted with TE engines built by Maudslay, these White boats had locomotive-type boilers, and therefore were reboilered a decade or so after completion with water-tube ones. T

Fitted with TE engines built by Maudslay, these White boats had locomotive-type boilers, and therefore were reboilered a decade or so after completion with water-tube ones.  These boats, having less metacentric height than the others, were easier in a seaway. Modernizations: 1900s, all: were reboliered with water-tube boilers.

Naval service

War service was in the Mediterranean and off Gibraltar, where TB96 was sunk in a collision with troop carrier s/s Tringa 1.11.1915.
