Construction

Service

Commissioned as tender to Template:UK-2Valorous in June 1886 for flotilla manoeuvres.[6][7]

In 1895, she was one of four first-class torpedo boats stationed at Bermuda.[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. 031.[9]
