Radio
In 1901, the ship is one of just two of her class of nine not noted as having or being slated to receive a "1 to 52" W/T set.[8] Perhaps she received equipment sometime soon afterward.[Inference]

Torpedoes
In 1904, in a competition to investigate how rapidly submerged tubes could be fired four times sequentially, starting with the tube loaded and the bar out, the ship's crew was able to do this in 5 minutes, 4 seconds in one trial and 5:12 in a second. The best time was achieved by Cressy at 50.75 seconds, though times of 3-5 minutes were more typical.[20]
