Service

In January, 1919, she was one of 13 "P" and "PC" boats allocated to mine clearance officers, working out of Devonport. She was assigned to Area 9.[5] She was one of eight such boats that kept at the task longer than most, being still at work in July, though her whereabouts may have changed in the interim.[6]

Reduced to C. & M. Party at the Nore on 16 October, 1919.[7]
