The ship was reclassified as a coastal defence ship in 1921 and served as a training and submarine depot ship after she was disarmed in 1923 to meet the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty. Asahi was modified into a submarine salvage and rescue ship before she was placed in reserve in 1928. She was recommissioned in late 1937, after the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War, and used to transport Japanese troops. In 1938, the ship was converted into a repair ship and based first at Shanghai, China and then Camranh Bay, French Indochina from late 1938 to 1941. Asahi was transferred to Singapore in early 1942 to repair a damaged light cruiser and ordered to return home in May. She was sunk en route by the American submarine USS Seawolf with very little loss of life.
