Service

Lieutenant Talbot commanded the submarine in the early days of the war and catalogued her service with the Eighth Submarine Flotilla.[6] On 24 July, she released two of six carrier pigeons held aboard to test whether they'd be effective when used by submarines in the Bight, and on the 25th she hunted a U-boat on the surface before being set upon by destroyers, a zeppelin and a seaplane while at the same time becoming fouled by a net.
