Service

The British felt that on 19 October, 1917, E 45 sank UC 79 at 52deg 16' N., 2deg 46' E., but later they would learn that this U-boat was not lost until 1918.[6]

At the end of 1920, she was one of eight "E" class boats of Group "J" in reserve at Rosyth under the collective command of Lieutenant Charles E. A. W. Cox, and tender to Dolphin.[7]
