The vessel sank on January 10, 1924, following a collision with HMS Resolution during a naval exercise in the English Channel.
A memorial at St Ann's Church in Portsmouth Naval Base honors the 43 officers and crew members who perished in the incident.

The submarine's hydroplanes, found in hard dive position, indicate the crew attempted emergency maneuvers moments before the fatal collision.
