Her 25 ton gun had such a great concussion that during trials the blast of its first firing depressed the deck by 2 and 3⁄8 inches, requiring the addition of more vertical beams underneath.[6]

Service

Collided with S.S. Lady Wodehouse some time around January, 1872. She was repaired at Devonport and, when getting ready to go to Plymouth in mid-Feburary burst the port condenser. Repairs were expected to take a month.[7]

Hotspur served as guardship at Holyhead until going into reserve for four years from 1893. She then went to Bermuda, where she acted as guardship until being sold in 1904.
