HMAS Anzac led the 14th Flotilla of the Grand Fleet and served in the North Sea and the English Channel.

Anzac was presented to the Australian Government in March 1919 and commissioned into the RAN, with the same pennant number, on 27 January 1920. HMAS Anzac paid off for disposal on 30 July 1931 and was sold to Messrs. Abraham and Wilson of Redfern in New South Wales on 8 August 1935. Her hull was scuttled off Sydney on 7 May 1936 and used for target practice.
