In 1912 she transferred to the Orient routes when the South American services passed to Cie.Sud-Atlantique. In May 1918 she was hit by a torpedo which blew her bow off and was taken to Bizerte for repairs. Atlantique returned to France and was rebuilt with extra decks at La Ciotat. She was renamed Angkor before re-entering service to the Far East in 1921. From 1930 Angkor was restricted to Mediterranean routes until she briefly replaced the Georges Philippar which was burnt out on her maiden voyage in 1933. Angkor was scrapped in the UK in December of that year.

Worked as a troopship in 1915 with 564 troops, then as a hospital ship in 1916 with 100 beds. She finally entered the Far East service in 1919. André Lebon remained in Vichy hands at the fall of France in 1940 and was bombed at Toulon in 1943, where she sank in shallow water. Although raised, she was scuttled when the Germans withdrew. Repaired at Forges et Chantiers (Marseille) after the war, she inaugurated post war Far East services in October 1946. André Lebon was withdrawn and scrapped in 1952.
