The destroyer saw service escorting convoys in the English Channel and encountered both German submarines and torpedo boats, but did not record any hits on the enemy. The vessel also supported attacks on German forces on the coast of Western Europe by Coastal Motor Boats, flying boats and monitors, including the Zeebrugge Raid of 1918.

After the armistice that ended the war, the destroyer was transferred to the Gunnery School at Nore in 1919. In 1922, the warship carried representatives to the unveiling of war memorials in Dunkirk and Ostend. The Navy decided to retire many of the older vessels as new destroyers were introduced. In 1927, Stork was sold to be broken up. (en)
