The German occupying forces had O 12 raised and sent her to the Wilton-Fijenoord wharf in Rotterdam for repairs. On 30 January 1943, she was taken into service by Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine, as UD-2. On 6 July 1944, she was taken out of service and moved to Kiel, where she was scuttled in the harbor just before the end of the war. Afterwards, UD-2 was raised and demolished.[5]
