In 1910, Snepp applied for submarine service, but he never received an appointment for training. In 1912, while serving in the destroyer depot ship St. George, he qualified for duty in torpedo boats. He had to wait until 13 August, 1913 before being appointed to Saracen as first officer. On 28 March, 1914, he was appointed to the Acasta Class destroyer Unity to serve in the same capacity.[2]

Snepp was removed from Unity by Captain (D) Charles John Wintour five days after the action, as Snepp was suffering from nervous strain in the wake of the battle. He was found fit on 13 January, 1915. His next several appointments seem chosen to keep a relapse from occurring, being first in Terrible for navigational purposes and then for special service from President and then Queen Victoria where he would be for 15 months.[3]
