Built by Germaniawerft in Kiel, Germany, she was commissioned in August 1915. The "G" in "G39" refers to the shipyard at which she was constructed.

"G39" was assigned to the High Seas Fleet of the Kaiserliche Marine when she participated in the Battle of Jutland. She served as the leader of the First Torpedo Boat Flotilla in this action under the command of Commander Conrad Albrecht. Admiral Hipper transferred from SMS "Lutzow" to "G39" during the Battle of Jutland prior to his transfer to the Moltke. After the end of hostilities, "G39" was interned at Scapa Flow and scuttled. She was salvaged by Ernest Cox on 3 July 1925.
