A section of Ranger's hull sits in Nathanael Herreshoff‘s Bristol, Rhode lsland, shipyard —where many another defender was built— awaiting use in 1941 as scrap for fighting ships.
Challenger Endeavour II fared better, remaining afloat with a cut-down rig as a cruising boat through the 1960s.

Endeavour II fared no better than Ranger:
1938
Endeavour II was laid up at Camper & Nicholson’s yard in Gosport, England.
1947
Endeavour II was sold for scrap to Charles Kerridge Limited but her hulk remained until the late 1960s.
1968
Endeavour II was broken up and scrapped in Southampton.

Endeavour II n'a pas connu un meilleur sort que Ranger:

1947
Endeavour II est vendu à la ferraille à Charles Kerridge Limited mais sa coque est conservé jusqu'à la fin des années 60.
1968
L'épave d'Endeavour II est démantelée…
