Service

Lt. John Coughlan was appointed in command of Tay on 10 March, 1904 to participate in the Jubilee Review. In June, Tay collided with a smack due to what a Court of Enquiry deemed a "want of judgment" on Coughlan's part. Having been diagnosed with neurasthenia at Plymouth Hospital, Coughlan was retired as unfit on 20 September, 1904.
