On 14 November 1944 she hit a Soviet mine off Sassnitz and had to be towed to port in Swinemünde. Eventually transferred to Flensburg, she was taken over there by the Allies when the war ended and finally confiscated by the United States.

For that reason, in 2012 there were major commemorations of her 75th anniversary and 50 years in the service of the Portuguese navy.
