In the early hours of 9 April 1940, "Draug" intercepted and captured the clandestine German transport . After deciding that the outdated "Draug" could do little to oppose the invading German forces, the ship's captain decided to sail to the United Kingdom, bringing the captured German ship with him. After being subjected to a German bombing attack, "Main" was sunk and "Draug" proceeded to the United Kingdom with the German crew as prisoners. In exile in the United Kingdom "Draug" served as a guard ship, convoy escort, MTB mother ship and depot ship. Decommissioned in late 1943, "Draug" was sold for scrapping in 1944.
