As the boat was soon technically obsolete due to the rapid development of torpedo boats, it was disarmed in 1898 and converted into a station yacht. On the aft deck , which was previously arched and now leveled by laying a wooden deck , there was an all-round closed deckhouse with a roofed platform reaching to the stern. The rudder angle was increased and provided with windows instead of the previous slits, and the chimney is extended by 1.5 m and with a designed as an ornamental ring cranked provided. On January 30, 1899, the boat, now renamed Snow White , began its service as a station yacht of the Baltic Sea naval station in Kiel .
The boat survived the First World War , served a short time in the Reichsmarine and was then scrapped in 1921 after the North Sea tender was reactivated on February 16, 1921 and assigned to the Baltic Sea naval station.
