On October 1, 1967, there was a change of subordination to the newly established 1st supply squadron and on April 1, 1997 to the supply squadron . The Walchensee was the last ship to leave the disbanded naval base in Flensburg on October 12, 1998 . It was then stationed at the Kiel naval base and, after being decommissioned, hung up in Wilhelmshaven .
In 2005 the ship was initially sold to Denmark via VEBEG and later registered in Nigeria as a tanker Walchensee with IMO number 9027855 and callsign 5NHYS. The ship was scrapped in 2010 .
