Two days later, E18 was sighted by German aircraft off Memel and on 1 June she was sighted by U 30 off Steinort.

E18 struck a mine on or about 2 June and was lost with All Hands. The wreck was located in 2012.

There is a memorial dedicated to HMS E18 in the Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit (Puha Vaimu Kirik) in Tallin, Estonia which was inaugurated in May 2010.
