All of the ships were captured by the Germans after the Italian armistice in September, but they only made an effort to repair or complete "Lansquenet" which they renamed as "TA34", reusing the designation of a torpedo boat that had been transferred to Croatia in 1944. She was scuttled in Genoa in May 1945, following "Le Hardi" in April and "Sirocco" in October 1944. "Foudroyant" was scuttled again by the Germans as a blockship in Toulon in August while "Bison" sank after a collision with a submarine in June. "L'Adroit" was sunk by Allied air raids in 1944. "Lansquenet" was salvaged in 1946 and towed back to Toulon in March 1946 where she was renamed "Cyclone". Never repaired or returned to service, she was stricken in 1958 and subsequently scrapped.
