CH-14 was commissioned in Halifax in June of that year. The CH class was used to replace the CC class submarines. Like the CC class subs, the H class did not last long and was paid off on June 30, 1922. She and her sister boat HMCS CH-15 were scrapped in 1927.
The RCN did not acquire any more submarines until after World War II.
