She recommissioned at Portsmouth on 1 July 1911[7] as she completed conversion to a depot ship.[8]

In mid-1913, she was servicing Fourth Submarine Flotilla in Portsmouth.[9]

She served the Fourth Submarine Flotilla at Dover from 1914-1916 and also served the Fifth Submarine Flotilla and acted as based flagship there from 1915-1918.[10]

In 1904, in a competition to investigate how rapidly submerged tubes could be fired four times sequentially, starting with the tube loaded and the bar out, the ship's crew was able to do this in 2 minute, 40 seconds. The best time was achieved by Cressy at 50.75 seconds, though 2:30 was more typical.[22]
