Service
She was stationed in Chatham in 1895 as one of eight large torpedo boats of at least 125 feet length and two smaller ones.[6]
She commissioned on 8 July to participate in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1896, but I have not found who commanded her during the exercise.[7]
She was placed into Dockyard Reserve at Chatham. In mid-1901, she was to be fitted with Thornycroft water-tube boilers, manufactured at the dockyard.[8]
Around 1906-1907, with the issuance of torpedo boat numbers to the first of the Cricket class torpedo boats, the existing Torpedo Boats numbered 25 to 79 had a "0" prepended to their number. This vessel, therefore, became T.B. 068.[9]
Sold to Ward, Hayle for scrapping on 30 June, 1920 alongside her sister T.B. 66.[10]
