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. 052.[6]
Service
In 1895, she was one of thirteen T.B.s of 125 feet or greater length and four smaller ones stationed in Devonport.[7]
She commissioned on 18 July to participate in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1894 as one of three T.Bs. of the Torpedo Division 1 of the Red Side.[8]
She commissioned on 8 July to participate in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1896 under the command of Acting Sub-Lieutenant in Command D. T. Morris, whom I have been unavble to identify precisely.[9]
Sold to Multilocular Shipbreaking Co. on 19 December, 1919.[10]
