''Utah''{{'}}s first assignment was with the US Navy's [[United States Fleet Forces Command#History|Atlantic Fleet]]. During 1913, she took a goodwill voyage to the Mediterranean.{{sfn|DANFS ''Utah''}} ''Utah'' was also involved in the Second Battle of Vera Cruz, alongside her sister ''Florida''. The ship also saw front-line duty in the First World War, although she was not attached to the British Grand Fleet. Starting in September 1918, ''Utah'' was based in [[Bantry Bay]], Ireland.{{sfn|Friedman|1986|p=114}} Here she conducted convoy escort duties on the approach to Europe.{{sfn|Hore|p=57}}

Post-war service saw ''Utah'' again in the Atlantic Fleet; during 1921–22, she was stationed in Europe. ''Utah'' was also retained under the Washington Naval Treaty. In 1924–1925, the ship sailed on a goodwill cruise to South America. Following her return to the United States, she was taken into dry dock for significant reconstruction. After she rejoined the active fleet, she was assigned to the [[Scouting Fleet|US Scouting Fleet]]. Late in 1928, she steamed to the South Atlantic, where she picked up [[President-Elect]] [[Herbert Hoover]], who was returning from an ambassadorial visit to several South American countries.{{sfn|DANFS ''Utah''}}

According to the London Naval Treaty, the ship was to be removed from front-line service. In 1931 she had her main battery guns removed and was converted into a radio-controlled [[target ship]]. She was redesignated ''AG-16'', and served in this capacity through 1941. In 1935 she was rebuilt again, gaining a single [[1.1"/75-caliber gun|{{convert|1.1|in|adj=on|0}}/75-caliber]] anti-aircraft gun in a quadruple mount for experimental testing and development of the new type of weapon. She continued her role as a target ship,{{sfn|DANFS ''Utah''}} and in 1941 had several additional anti-aircraft guns installed to increase her capacity to train gunners. Later that year she was transferred to the [[US Pacific Fleet]] and based in [[Pearl Harbor]]. She was present in Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, was hit by two torpedoes, [[capsize]]d, and sank. A few years later, the hull was partially righted and towed closer to [[Ford Island]] in a failed salvage effort, where the wreck remains today.{{sfn|DANFS ''Utah''}}
