Raider was assigned to the Grand Fleet's Fifteenth Destroyer Flotilla in November, 1916, as it was just reaching a useful strength.[8]

She re-commissioned with reduced Complement on 20 November, 1919[9] and arrived at Harwich on 22 November.[10]

On 28 August, 1923, she left Rosyth for Chatham.[16]

She left Chatham for Portsmouth on 15 January, 1925,[17] where she commenced a refit due to complete in April.[18] She then went to Portland, arriving 3 July, 1925.[19]

In August of 1925, the Raider, Redgauntlet, Rocket and Retriever of the Portland Anti-Submarine Flotilla were selected to be scrapped. Raider was to be replaced in her work by Torrent.[20] She finally departed Portland for Portsmouth on 2 June, 1926.[21]

Following an earlier round of a flotilla leader and seventeen destroyers, Raider was named as one of an additional fifteen destroyers to be scrapped in the fiscal year starting 1 April, 1926.[22]
