HMS Zebra served in British home waters for the whole of her career. In January 1900 she was employed as tender to the Wildfire, special service vessel, for training duties in connextion with Sheerness Naval School of Gunnery. The following year she participated in the 1901 British Naval Manoeuvres. In March 1902 Lieutenant James W. G. Innes was appointed in command, but the appointment was cancelled and Lieutenant Wyndham L. Bamber was appointed in command the following month.She served in the Portsmouth Instructional flotilla in May 1902, and took part in the fleet review held at Spithead on 16 August 1902 for the coronation of King Edward VII. Zebra formed part of the 6th Destroyer Flotilla in 1910, and in 1912. On 14 June 1911 the destroyer Zephyr collided with Zebra during night exercises off the mouth of the River Thames. One of Zebra's six-pounder guns and two of her boats were knocked into the sea, but no crew were injured. After repair, Zebra was attached to the submarine flotilla based at Dundee, relieving the destroyer Teazer. On 30 August 1912 the Admiralty directed all destroyers were to be grouped into classes designated by letters based on contract speed and appearance. Like all the surviving Twenty-six and Twenty-seven Knotters, Zebra was assigned to the A Class. |
