She was broken up before the war.

Service

Hart arrived at Singapore in early December, 1896 in company with Centurion, the T.B.Ds. Handy and Alacrity and the torpedo cruiser Porpoise.[7] By the nineteenth, the ships had moved on for Hong Kong, less Alacrity.[8]

In July, 1904, complaints from Vice-Admiral Noel of the China Station about the condition of his T.B.s and T.B.D.s prompted a review of his assets by First Lord of the Admiralty Selborne. Within, it was noted that Hart's boilers had last been re-tubed in 1898, but that a form S.355 dated April 1904 stated they had another 21 months life left in them.[9]
