On 5 June 1915, U-14 approached the trawler Oceanic II off Peterhead, firing a couple of warning shots, but Oceanic II was armed and was acting as a decoy and returned fire, being joined by the armed trawler Hawk. U-14 was hit several times, and, unable to escape by submerging, sank, with six officers and 21 ratings being rescued, and one man, her commanding officer, being killed.[5][6]
