Jupiter commissioned at Chatham on 8 June, 1897, Captain Angus MacLeod in command.<ref>"Naval and Military Intelligence" (Official Appointments and Notices). The Times. Wednesday, 9 June, 1897. Issue 35225, col C, p. 10.</ref>

In mid-July, 1914, the ship was ordered to take up station in the Humber as part of a force of four Majestic class battleships and two Cressy class cruisers being sent there to be demobilised on the 25th. Her crew was to be transferred to {{safesubst:{{safesubst:#ifeq:|eq|p1|p2}}|{{safesubst:{{safesubst:#ifeq:{{#pos:|c}}|Canopus Class battleship |p1|p2}}||}}|{{safesubst:{{safesubst:#switch:{{safesubst:#if:{{#pos:|c}}|p1|p2}}|p1=p1|p2={{safesubst:#ifeq:|error|{{safesubst:#ifeq:||p2|p3}}|p2}}|if/errmsg}}|Canopus Class battleship ||{{#pos:|c}}|}}}}{{safesubst:{{safesubst:#ifeq:|eq|p1|p2}}|{{safesubst:{{safesubst:#ifeq:{{#pos:|t}}|battleship |p1|p2}}||}}|{{safesubst:{{safesubst:#switch:{{safesubst:#if:{{#pos:|t}}|p1|p2}}|p1=p1|p2={{safesubst:#ifeq:|error|{{safesubst:#ifeq:||p2|p3}}|p2}}|if/errmsg}}|battleship ||{{#pos:|t}}|}}}}[[{{#if:H.M.S.|H.M.S.

Radio

By the end of 1901, she was fitted or due to receive a "1 to 52" W/T set.{{#if:p. 111|<ref>Annual Report of the Torpedo School, 1901. p. 111.</ref>|H.M.S. Vernon. Annual Report of the Torpedo School, 1901. Copy 22 at The National Archives. {{#if:|ADM 189/21|189/21| |+}} ADM 189/21}}.}}

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, 50 seconds. The best time was achieved by Cressy at 50.75 seconds, though 2:30 was more typical.{{#if:pp. 45-7|<ref>Annual Report of the Torpedo School, 1904. pp. 45-7.</ref>|H.M.S. Vernon.
