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]

By mid-1937 she was with the Fifth Submarine Flotilla.[12]
