As an experimental vessel that spent her career as a tender to the {{UK-Vernon}}, ''Lightning'' seems never to have been assigned an official commanding officer. However she was, unusually for torpedo boats, assigned an permanent engineer officer, borne additional in the ''Asia'' then from 1878 onward in ''Vernon''. By 1891 this position was listed as "For service in 'Lightning', Torpedo Boats, &c."<ref>''The Navy List'' (April, 1891), p. 262.</ref>
