In late 1905, Arun was in commission on the China Station.[9]
By January, 1907 she had returned to Britain and was part of the Channel Fleet's Third Flotilla.[10]
In early 1910 she had joined the Second Destroyer Flotilla.[11]
In mid-1913, she was doing patrol work with the Ninth Destroyer Flotilla.[12]
In April 1914, she was tender to Iron Duke.
