Service

In November 1916, she was added to the Tenth Submarine Flotilla, which was supporting the Grand Fleet. E 44 is also part of the flotilla along with seven "G" class submarines. She remained with 10 S.F. until March 1919, when she was assigned to the Seventh Submarine Flotilla, which had just been reconstituted after being disestablished in September 1916.

Her last wartime commander, and perhaps only her second ever commander, Lieutenant-in-Command Maurice William Bailward ended his appointment on 31 October, 1919, and the submarine was slated to join other subs in the Materiel Reserve at Portsmouth in November, 1919.[6] She was one of four "E" class boats of 2 S.F. reduced to a Care and Maintenance Party at Devonport on 25 November as part of a plan to reduce the Atlantic Fleet from four submarine flotillas to three.[7]

At the end of 1920, she was one of nine "E" class boats of Group "H" in reserve at Rosyth under the collective command of Lieutenant Victor C. Dorman-Smith, and tender to Dolphin.[8]
