The Morococala was taken up by the Admiralty in May 1915. She was assigned to Patrol area 21, that of the Queenstown Command, in Cork, and armed with a 6lb Hotchkiss quick fire gun, and two type D depth charges. In May 1915 the Morococala hit a mine and sank; none of the 13 crew survived the sinking.
