Hi Den and Welcome.

Thought a toredo was a worm that ate its way through wooden hulls.
Hope your hull is grp :D :D

If memory serves she was a one-off built by Vosper with a trainable tube amidships and 2 reloads astern.  There's a pic in one of the "Allied Coastal Forces" books by Lambert and Ross.
