Commissioned into service in the Italian Regia Marina ("Royal Navy") in 1918, she served in the final months of World War I, participating in the Adriatic campaign. During the interwar period, she was reclassified as a torpedo boat in 1929. During World War II, she took part in the Adriatic campaign, operations in support of the Greco–Italian War, the Mediterranean campaign, and the Tunisian campaign until she was sunk in 1943.
