Service history

In January 1900 it was announced that Teazer would be commissioned as tender to the torpedo school HMS Vernon at Chatham.[2] She then served in the Portsmouth instructional flotilla until April 1902, when her crew was transferred to the destroyer Syren, which took her place in the flotilla.[3] Later in 1902, she underwent repairs to re-tube her boilers.[4]
