Commissioned at Sheerness on 16 August, 1881. She served in the Pacific before being ordered home in summer of 1885.[5]
After a long commission in the Pacific, the ship finally paid off in 1886, and by November she was identified as one of forty-one vessels of various types the Navy had decided to dispose of due to their lack of practical value in the event of war.[6]
