World War II

During World War II, Hova was transferred to the Free French Naval Forces under lend lease on 29 February 1944, and retained the name Hova.

Hova participated in Operation Anvil-Dragoon on 15 August 1944 and Operation Vénérable in April 1945.[2]

Ownership of the vessel was transferred to France on 21 April 1952 under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program.
