In 1946 ordered the Dutch supreme commanding officer in the Far East by order no. 62 to investigate the harbours including shipyards in the Dutch East Indies and Netherlands New Guinea. In those so-called Sitraps (Situation reports) was information collected dealing with the available facilities, personnel and vessels/boats. The Dutch East Indies fell in Japanese hands in the Second World War when the Dutch forces surrendered on 8 March 1942 until Japan surrendered on her turn on 15 August 1945. On 17 August 1945 declared nationalistic leaders like Soekarno and Hadda the independence of what was called the Republik Indonesia. The result was a struggle for years before the Netherlands forced by international pressure accepted the Indonesian independence on 29 December 1949.
For the last time docked in September 1939. In July 1946 examined while in the water. Hull on waterline, wood and steel deck, connection superstructure and deck and bulwark in worse condition. The 120hp engine was useless. The rest of the casco in reasonable condition although it was to be feared that the hull below the waterline was also in worse condition. Except for major repairs was also the foundation to be altered to make it possible to fit her out with a new engine. Due to the large costs was it advice not to repair her and to commission again.
