Service

Exmouth commissioned with a Portsmouth crew at Chatham on 2 June, 1903, by Captain Michael P. O'Callaghan, to replace the Victorious in the Mediterranean.[7] Her Commander was Mortimer L'E. Silver, and her Gunnery Lieutenant was Frederic Dreyer, whose comments on the ship's then-current state of fire control equipment is found in the notes for the Duncan class.[8]

In Battle Practice on 1 October, 1906, Exmouth recorded sixty hits at Weymouth.

In mid-1913, she was serving as a gunnery training ship in Devonport, and was to be recommissioned on 1 July.[9]

Radio

In 1908, the ship was one of just nine equipped with the "C" Tune Gear, capable of transmitting (only?) on "S", "U" and "W" tunes. It was to receive a Service Mark II set in 1909.[10]
