Service

She was fitted out at Blackwall as a minelayer[5] and listed as a new member of the Minelayer Squadron in December.[6] She would work with them throughout the war, but was apparently more loosely affiliated with them from August, 1918.[7]

At some point in 1918, she would be in a collision with the patrol boat P27. The commander of the patrol boat would be found to be at fault in the matter.[8]
