Service

Her last wartime commander, and perhaps only her second ever commander, Lieutenant-in-Command Maurice William Bailward ended his appointment on 31 October, 1919, and the submarine was slated to join other subs in the Materiel Reserve at Portsmouth in November, 1919.[6]

At the end of 1920, she was one of nine "E" class boats of Group "H" in reserve at Rosyth under the collective command of Lieutenant Victor C. Dorman-Smith, and tender to Dolphin.[7]
