Service
In 1895, she was one of thirteen torpedo boats of 125 feet or greater length and four smaller ones stationed in Devonport.[6] She participated in the 1895 Naval Manoeuvres but was found to be "a source of great trouble ... and was certainly not in a fit condition to be sent to an exercise where speed was the first consideration."[7]
