Career

She was built by J&G Thompson on Clydebank and launched on May 27 1895. She served with her sister ship, HMS "Powerful" on the China Station and provided landing parties which fought in the relief of the Siege of Ladysmith in the Second Boer War. Crews from the two ships also took part in suppressing the Boxer Rebellion in China. After 1904 they were laid up as an economy measure. During World War I, they had most of their armament removed and served as troop transports and later accommodation ships.

After the end of the war, "Terrible" was renamed "Fisgard III" in August 1920 and converted to a training ship. After twelve years of this, she was sold on July 1932 for breaking up.
