In November 1880, the ship was being made reday to receive a second-class torpedo boat, which would reside on her hurricane deck in place of her second 37-foot pinnace. Her derrick was to be replaced by a steel one to bear the added weight of the T.B.. At the same time, she was being equipped with electrical firing circuits.[6]
