Lede

Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section, the lede of this article adequately defines the torpedo boat, establishes the torpedo boat's necessary context, and explains why the torpedo boat is otherwise notable.
The info box for the submarine is beautifully formatted and its content is sourced within the prose of the text and by the referenced cited therein.
The image in the info box of the first of the 250t-class, T-group, 74 T has been released into the public domain in Austria and is therefore acceptable for use in this article.
The lede could stand to include more information from the "Description and construction" section, such as mentioning the displacement or the size of the crew.
The lede is otherwise well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no other comments or questions for this section.

Background

This section is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no comments or questions for this section.

Description and construction

It's self explanatory for the most part, but could there be some mention of the naming convention or why T1 was branded as such? I know this probably seems silly as it's the first torpedo boat of the T group, but if you could find a reasonable way of explaining this to the reader, that would be preferable. If not, this is certainly not a deal breaker, just a suggestion.
This section is otherwise well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no comments or questions for this section.

Career

In the second paragraph of the "World War I" subsection, it may be helpful if you weave into the end of the sentence "By 1918, the Allies had strengthened their ongoing blockade on the Strait of Otranto..." something like "as had been the previous expectation of the Austro-Hungarian Navy" or something like that. This will tie this section in with the "Background" section which made it clear that this had been a worry of the Austrians.
A translation of the Regia Marina is given in the "World War II" subsection but this was not done for the Austrian navy which was known in German as "kaiserliche und königliche Kriegsmarine" or just "Kriegsmarine." This should be consistently done with all navies.
This section is otherwise well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no comments or questions for this section.

G'day West Virginian, thanks for the review. I have added the armament to the lead, and lang templates and translations to all navies. I have never seen an explicit source regarding why they chose to call them T1 etc, the assumption being T for torpedo. Actually, the Yugoslavs received both T and F group boats, but named them T1-T8.
