On 26 Jun 1897, she was present at the Naval Review at Spithead in celebration of the Diamond Jubilee.
Captain Alexander Bethell was appointed in command on 19 March 1901, as she was serving in the Mediterranean Fleet. The ship served off South Africa during the Second Boer War (service from April-Nov. 1901) and 117 of her crew of 234 served in Naval Brigades ashore, in the Cape Colony.[3]
Based in the Indian Sea, she was involved in the military operations in Somaliland 1902–04, her crew receiving 285 medals and clasps for the campaign.[5]
In 1910, like many other ships of her class, Naiad was converted to a minelayer, as she was obsolete as a Cruiser. She was relegated to harbour duties in 1919 and sold for scrap in 1922.
