torpedo boat T5 was a sea-going torpedo boat operated by the Royal Yugoslav Navy between 1921 and 1941.
Originally 87 F , 250t-class torpedo boat of the Austro-Hungarian Navy commissioned on 25 October 1915 during World War I , she was armed with two 66 mm (2.6 in) guns and four 450 mm (17.7 in) torpedo tubes . Following Austria-Hungary 's defeat in 1918, 87 F was allocated to what became the Royal Yugoslav Navy, and was renamed T5 . The ship was captured by the Italians during the
German-led Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941. After her main armament was modernised, she served with the Royal Italian Navy under the Yugoslav designation, conducting coastal and second-line escort duties in the
Adriatic Sea. Following the Italian
capitulation in September 1943, the ship was returned to the Royal Yugoslav Navy-in-exile and served as T5 . At the end of the war she was transferred to the new Yugoslav Navy and served as Cer, and in 1962 was broken up .
