Service

Peterel spent her career on the China Station, primarily plying the Yangtse River. She was lost to Japanese forces in close combat on 8 December, 1941 as she tried to stall for time to destroy secret materials. Lacking breech blocks for her 3-in guns, she fought back with small arms before sinking.
