Whakakihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ko te HMS "Penelope" he kaipuke whakarewa-a-roto i hangaia mo te Royal Navy i te mutunga o nga tau 1860 a i kiia ko te corvette patu. I hangaia ia mo te mahi takutai me te hohonu iti, a he nui te kino o tana mahi i raro i te parirau. I oti i te tau 1868, i noho te kaipuke i te tau e whai ake nei ki te Channel Fleet i mua i tana tohatoha ki te First Reserve Squadron i te tau 1869 ka waiho hei kaipuke tiaki takutai mo Harwich tae noa ki te 1887. I whakakahahia a Penelope i te wa i piki ake ai nga taumahatanga me Ruhia i te Pakanga Russo-Turkish o te 1877-78 ka uru ki te Bombardment o Alexandria i te wa o te
Te Pakanga Ingarihi-Ihipa o te tau 1882. I riro te kaipuke hei kaipuke kaiwhiwhi i Awherika ki te Tonga i te tau 1888 ka waiho hei whare herehere i te tau 1897. I hokona ia mo te waikura i te tau 1912.
