RHONE will pass through the meshes of the net stretched by the submarines. It will be one of 23 Bordes ships to survive the war, less than half of the fleet. In February 1918, it will be part of the 17 ships that Bordes will make available to the Americans as part of the mission Tardieu (exchange of sailboats against fumes). It will be handed to Americans in Norfolk. It will be demolished in 1927.
