Commissioned at Pembroke Dock 17 May, 1911. Soon thereafter, she became the flagship cruiser of First Destroyer Flotilla.[9]

She was refit to be a minelayer in September, 1917.[10] In this configuration, she could carry 66 mines and conduct six laying operations per month to a radius of 2120 miles.[11]
