The ship was launched on 9 March 1906 and was assigned to the Northern Squadron after her completion in October 1907.[1] She was transferred to the Rochefort Local Defenses (Шаблон:Lang) in January 1910 and immediately began a lengthy refit that lasted until August 1912 when she was reassigned to the Brest Local Defenses. She remained with the unit until November when she was transferred to the Third Squadron (Шаблон:Lang), as the Northern Squadron had been redesignated while she was under repair. Obusier was assigned to the 1st Destroyer Flotilla (Шаблон:Lang) of the 2nd Light Squadron (Шаблон:Lang) in August 1913 and was refitted from December 1913 to June 1914 at Rochefort. The ship was transferred to the North Sea Squadron (Шаблон:Lang), based at Dunkerque, in October 1915. She had her stern blown off by a naval mine on 24 May 1916. Obusier was placed in reserve in May 1919, struck from the naval register on 27 May 1921 and sold for scrap on 6 March 1922.[2]
