Naval Six was the only British squadron to be entirely equipped with the Nieuport 17bis. They traded these for the new Sopwith Camel in June 1917. In September they were disbanded and their pilots and aircraft sent to other RNAS squadrons - B Flight going to Naval Ten. Reformed in 1918 the new squadron then flew the DH9.
