"Apollo", "Ariadne" and "Manxman" survived the war and saw post-war service, with their pennant numbers changed from "M" to "N". "Apollo" served as a despatch vessel and "Manxman" as a mine warfare support ship. In 1953, "Manxman" was used to depict a German raider in the re-made film of C. S. Forester's novel "Brown on Resolution"; for this her funnels were enlarged to alter her outline, dummy 6-inch barrels were fitted over her 4-inch guns, and her bow was painted to indicate 'torpedo damage'.
