An interesting side-note: HMS Dreadnought and her contemporaries of course had their own 18" torpedoes, but they also carried six 14" torpedoes. I mention this because of the steam launch you're modeling. The 40' steam pinnace and two 56' picket boats were equipped to carry two torpedoes each, for patrolling when the ship was anchored in a foreign port.
