She commissioned on 14 February, 1912 with Ensign Clarence N. Hinkamp in command.

On 15 January 1916 , E-2 suffered a battery explosion and fire during dockside tests of a new nickel battery intended to eliminate dangers of chlorine gas release. Four men were killed and seven injured. Lieutenant Chester W. Nimitz led the investigation which cleared E-2's commanding officer Lieutenant Charles M. Cooke, Jr. of blame in the incident.
