Service

In February, 1910 Lt. Thomas C. B. Harbottle was admonished to be more careful after C 31 collided with the ketch The Brothers.[5]

In the Test Mobilization, she was one of seven "C" class boats comprising the Fourth Submarine Flotilla.

She was lost with all seventeen hands, around 4 January 1915, presumably to a mine off Zeebrugge.
