The destroyer also escorted the monitors Erebus and Terror in their bombardment of Ostend in 1917 and of Zeebrugge in 1918, both times without casualties.

After the Armistice that ended the war, the destroyer was briefly sent to Hamburg in 1919 before being placed in reserve, eventually being sold to be broken up in 1927.
