After fitting out and upon successful completion of sea trials, she steamed for Falmouth, England 14 January 1919 with a cargo of flour and pork destined for Ameriean troops overseas. Piave arrived Falmouth 28 January and steamed on for Rotterdam the same day. That night, during a fierce storm accompanied by a blinding snow, she went aground about half a mile east of Gull Lightship in the Straits of Dover.

Piave was struck from the Navy List 4 February 1919.
