She served in the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905), seeing action in the Battle of Port Arthur before the Imperial Japanese Navy captured her in 1904. Renamed Akatsuki (暁 ("Daybreak") in Japanese service, she took part in the Battle of Tsushima in 1905. She was renamed Yamabiko 山彦 ("Mountain Echo"), also transliterated as Yamahiko, in 1905 after the conclusion of the war and remained in Japanese service until 1917.
