''Rauma'' remained in service until being sold for scrapping in 1963.

At first a number of ''2. class'' gunboats were rebuilt into minelayers and minesweepers, but with war looming it soon became clear that more capable vessels were required. Thus, two new purpose-built minesweepers were constructed at Nylands Verksted in Oslo; ''Otra'' and ''Rauma''. Both ships were completed and commissioned only a short time before the German invasion of Norway. ''Otra'' class vessels used the Oropesa system of minesweeping.
