Career

Exmouth commissioned with a Portsmouth crew at Chatham on 2 June, 1903, by Captain Michael P. O'Callaghan, to replace the Victorious in the Mediterranean.[7] Her Commander was Mortimer L'E. Silver, and her Gunnery Lieutenant was Frederic Dreyer, whose comments on the ship's then-current state of fire control equipment is found in the notes for the Duncan class.[8]

In Battle Practice on 1 October, 1906, Exmouth recorded sixty hits at Weymouth.

Radio

In 1908, the ship was one of just nine equipped with the "C" Tune Gear, capable of transmitting (only?) on "S", "U" and "W" tunes. It was to receive a Service Mark II set in 1909.[9]
