Construction

D 5 was launched on 20 October, 1888.[8]

Service

D 5 commissioned on 17 April, 1889 and served as a torpedo boat flotilla flagship for the next fifteen years.[9]

During the spring of 1900, D 5 was flagship of the C. (III.) Torpedobootsdivision, an element of the II. Torpedobootsflotille.[10]

D 5 was transferred to fisheries protection duties in 1905-1906 and was modernized at Schichau in 1910, receiving two new Marine-type boilers.[11] After completing her modernization she became a submarine flotilla flagship, then a submarine training vessel in 1914. D 10 was retained by the Reichsmarine after the Armistice and served in a minesweeping flotilla during 1919 before being stricken on 7 December, 1920 and broken up at Hamburg the next year.[12]
