Service

In April 1886, it was reported that the ship was to be brought out of the Fourth Division of the Medway Steam Reserve, where it had been for almost a year, and overhauled for a third term of foreign service.[5] However, this idea was still being reported in a prospective fashion as late as October of that same year.[6]

Apparently, this never occurred. In May 1894 it was reported that she and the corvette Bacchante were to removed from the effective list.[7] In November 1894, she was taken up for conversion to become a gun-cotton depot ship.[8] Whether she served in this capacity is not clear. She was declared unfit for further service in April 1895[9] and then in September, considered for conversion for harbour service as a stationary training ship at Cork.[10]

In mid-May 1897, it was reported that she had been sold along with the cruisers Bacchante and Canada to the Shipbreaking Company, Limited of London.[11]
