Begun as D 1, she was launched on 11 September, 1886.[8]
Service
D 1 was commissioned on 1 May, 1887 and renamed D 2 on 1 August of the same year.[9]
In early 1897, D 2 was the flagship of the VI. Torpedobootsdivision (Reserve), an element of the II. Torpedoabtheilung based at Wilhelmshaven.[10] By the spring of 1900, still based at Wilhelmshaven, she had been transferred to the II. Torpedobootsdivision (Reserve) within the same Torpedoabtheilung.[11]
In March 1902 she became station yacht in the North Sea with a large deckhouse built abaft her mainmast and was renamed Alice Roosevelt. With the outbreak of war in August 1914 she reverted to warlike duties, serving as a coastal defense vessel in the early months of the war. Alice Roosevelt was stricken on 7 December, 1920 and broken in 1921.[12]
