H.M.S. Iphigenia was one of 21 Apollo class second-class cruisers completed in the early to mid 1890s.

Service

On 6 July, 1903, Admiral-Superintendent of Portsmouth Royal Dockyard Reginald Henderson had occasion to telephone Archibald Pocklington, the Captain of the Fleet Reserve to complain that "An orderly has just brought to my office a ring of keys of shell rooms of Iphigenia. Information is requested why these keys were not included in the magazine key box previously deposited in my office, and who has had charge of them in the mean time." A reply came, reporting the normal procedures employed and promising an investigation. In the meanwhile, the gunner who had taken them out last was being sent to Henderson's office for them! A back-and-forth on the matter took nearly a full year to resolve, resulting in a clear procedure for handling the keys to be sent to the Commander-in-Chief of each of the three Home Ports.[7]

In mid-1913, Iphigenia was active with the Minelaying Squadron in Second Fleet.[8]
