Service
L 23 was commissioned 26 August, 1924.[6]
L 23 was withdrawn from the Second Submarine Flotilla to reserve on in late 1924, following L 22 in doing so. They would be replaced in service by L 53 and L 71.[7]
From at least mid-1927 through at least early 1929, she was with the First Submarine Flotilla in the Mediterranean.[8][9]
By mid-1931, she had been transferred to the Second Submarine Flotilla,[10] where she remained until at least October 1935.[11]
In June of 1933, her bell was one of about 100 surplus bells announced as being for sale at prices ranging from £1 to £10. Preference would be given to those offers from men with a special consideration in the bell in question.[12]
By mid-1937 she was with the Fifth Submarine Flotilla.[13]
