"V45" was assigned to the Sixth Torpedo Boat Flotilla, Twelfth Half-Flotilla, of the High Seas Fleet of the Kaiserliche Marine. When she participated in the Battle of Jutland she was assigned to escort the battlecruiser SMS "Lützow". In this action, "Lützow" was severely damaged such that she was unable to return to German waters. She assisted SMS "G37", "G38" and "G40" in the evacuation of survivors.

After the end of hostilities, "V45" was interned at Scapa Flow and scuttled. She was salvaged for scrap by Ernest Cox in 1924.
