Naval service

With the beginning of WWI all were disarmed and mothballed. In 1918 Buryat and Mongol were captured by Japanese and withdrawn to Sakhalin. They were returned to the USSR in mid-1920s. Orochanin was blown up by crew in upper part of river Zeya. She was never repaired and broken up in 1923.
