 That same day, while in transit to Kiel, the ship ran aground off Krautsand in the Elbe river.Damage was minimal and the ship proceeded to unit training in the Baltic, but on the return to the North Sea on 4 March, she accidentally rammed "Kronprinz".Her bow was pushed in, necessitating repairs in the Imperial Dockyard in Wilhelmshaven until 22 April.
