"Chin Yen" and the rest of 5th Squadron then proceeded to Tsushima, where they arrived on 20 June. From there, "Chin Yen" was detached for a refit in Kure and was then reassigned to the Ōminato Guard District in northern Honshu. The ship got underway on 4 July as part of an amphibious assault force that landed on Sakhalin three days later. After the end of the war on 5 September, "Chin Yen" went to Port Arthur to escort the armored cruiser , which had been scuttled there during the war and then raised by a Japanese salvage team. A fleet review was held on 23 October to celebrate Japan's victory, which was to be "Chin Yen"s last activity as part of the active fleet. The review began with a parade of captured Russian warships, followed by "Chin Yen" and other former Chinese vessels as part of a display of the spoils the Japanese Navy had seized in the two wars.
