Plans to have Phillipps command T.B. 80 and provide torpedo duties for the Devonport Flotilla in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1901 appear to have been re-considered, as this boat is not mentioned in the official debriefing report nor in his Service Record.[6]

Phillipps served in Victorious from January 1904. He was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant with seniority of 30 June, 1904 and was commanded the old turret ship Dreadnought for the Annual Manoeuvres of 1904. He died when a piece of machinery being hoisted out of the stranded Assistance fell and struck him on the head in October 1905.[7]
