Entering service in 1909, its mission was to protect strategic areas of the Western Mediterranean, blockade the Dardanelles, and patrol the Strait of Otranto. One of the key episodes was its participation in the unsuccessful search for the German battlecruiser Goeben and the cruiser Breslau. Voltaire was hit by two torpedoes fired by the German submarine U-48 in October 1918, but the damage was not severe.
