In the early stage of WWII, it was repurposed into a warship, initially as an auxiliary battlecruiser. Following the capitulation of Italy in 1943, the Germans took command of the ship, renamed it\u00a0<strong>the \u201cKiebitz\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0and fitted it with tracks for launching mines. In 1944, the \u201cKiebitz\u201d laid over 5000 mines in Kvarner and the northern Adriatic before being sunk on 5 November 1944 by Allied bombs in the Port of Rijeka, whence it was hauled out by the Brodospas company from Split in 1947. After being renovated at the \u201cUljanik\u201d shipyard in Pula, it was commissioned by the navy as the\u00a0<strong>Galeb School Ship.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From <strong>1953 and Tito\u2019s first international voyage aboard the Galeb to London for a meeting with Winston Churchill<\/strong>, the ship served as a floating residence. The trip to London was also an indicator of Yugoslavia\u2019s leaning towards the West, following the split with Stalin and the Eastern Bloc. Tito would frequently travel on the Galeb and hold meetings with statesmen there, in line with the role Yugoslavia played in the Non-Aligned Movement. Tito sailed on the Galeb for the last time in 1979. After his death, the ship was opened for visits by various organisations, schools, etc. In the late 1990s, the ship was sold to a Greek shipowner, but he went bankrupt and the ship was never refurbished.
