Franklin collided with the Sydney Harbour ferry, Vaucluse Franklin's sharp bow smashed halfway through the wooden ferry's hull almost sinking her, however, the ferry was towed to nearby Garden Island where the dock's pumps kept her afloat.
Franklin was paid off on 31 March 1921 only to be recommissioned on 21 September.[1]
Franklin was decommissioned on 18 September 1922 and gifted to the Administrator of Papua-New Guinea , serving there until 1929.[1] Adele and was owned by the Commonwealth Government of Australia and operated by the Department of Home & Territories. At the time she was homeported at Port Adelaide under the British Flag.[4] Adele was laid up at Rabaul . She was sold for £1,652 on 7 December of that year to W L Buckland of Melbourne , Australia who refitted her as a private yacht and used her for cruising. Adele was later sold to C H Relph of Sydney and was laid up for some years at Rose Bay Port Jackson , Sydney.[1]
On 24 October 1939, Adele was requisitioned by the Royal Australian Navy as HMAS Adele . She was armed with two .303-in Vickers machine guns and employed as an examination vessel . From December 1941, HMAS Adele was attached to HMAS Maitland .[7]
On 7 May 1943, Adele struck the breakwater at Port Kembla and was subsequently declared a total loss.[8] Adele is protected under the New South Wales Heritage Act, 1977.[9]
