Service

In December 1907, she collided with a steamboat of H.M.S. Magnificent. Lowly Sub-Lieutenant Percy Ralph Passawer Percival of Roxburgh was blamed in the incident, which is somewhat unusual. That same month, command of the ship was being turned over from Captain The Hon. Somerset A. Gough-Calthorpe to Morgan Singer, but the incident is not mentioned in either man's Service Record.[9]

As part of the Channel Fleet, Roxburgh was to start refitting in Devonport in September 1908, after Hampshire rejoined the Fleet.[10]

The ship was completed to full crew at Devonport on 12 February, 1913 for service in the Third Cruiser Squadron.[11]

In mid-1913, it was decided to purchase a Type 9 Cruiser Auxiliary set for her.[12]
