[2] The ships carried enough fuel oil to give them a range of 1,950 nautical miles (3,610 km; 2,240 mi) at a cruising speed of 14 knots (26 km/h; 16 mph).

Four days later, the fleet covered the evacuation of Danilo, Crown Prince of Montenegro, aboard Bouclier, to the Greek island of Corfu.

The flotilla escorted multiple small convoys loaded with supplies and equipment to Antivari, beginning in October and lasting for the rest of the year, always covered by the larger ships of the Naval Army in futile attempts to lure the Austro-Hungarian fleet into battle.

[6] According to a British report of 5 June, Renaudin and the cruisers Guichen and Châteaurenault were assigned to patrol the area between Sicily and Cape Bon, Tunisia.

Smoke on the southern horizon was spotted at 1320, although Addison's ships had been seen five minutes earlier by the Austro-Hungarians; the tow had been dropped and Triglav abandoned.

The time required to sink Triglav was longer than expected and left the flotilla unable to rejoin the pursuit despite following Addison's cruisers at full speed.

[10] Renaudin and Commandant Bory were one of three pairs of Allied destroyers patrolling the Montenegrin and Albanian coasts on 18 March when they were attacked off Durazzo (41°17′N 19°22′E / 41.283°N 19.367°E / 41.283; 19.367) by the Austro-Hungarian submarine SM U-6.
