In April, 1918, she and Rival left the 13 D.F. to join the Fourth Destroyer Flotilla, which was augmenting the defensive forces operating out of Devonport. In October, she was one of six destroyers loaned to the Third Destroyer Flotilla for about a month. She returned to the Fourth to ride out the end of the war. In December, the formation was disbanded and its constituents sent to various home ports. Oriana was one of nine destroyers sent to Portsmouth.
