"S113", together with sister-ship , formed the 12th Torpedo-boat flotilla at the end of the First World War. "S113" never saw service during World War I as she was commissioned near the end of hostilities. "S113" was at first retained by Germany after the end of the war, but after the German fleet interned at Scapa scuttled itself on 21 June 1919, Germany was required to hand over more warships and equipment, including "S113", to the Allies under the Treaty of Versailles to compensate for the ships scuttled at Scapa.
