Service

Bacchante was commissioned at Chatham by Captain Frederic E. E. Brock with a complement of 745 officers and men to replace Andromeda as flagship of Sir Baldwin W. Walker, Bart., commanding the Mediterranean Cruiser Squadron.[8]

She recommissioned at Chatham on 15 March, 1912.[9]

In mid-July, 1914, the ship was stationed in the Humber as part of a force of four Majestic class battleships and two Cressy class cruisers being sent there.[10]

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 3 minute, 3 seconds. The best time was achieved by sister Cressy at 50.75 seconds, though 2:30 was more typical.[11]
