Service

In June, 1917, one of eight "P" boats in the Portsmouth Escort Flotilla.[5]

Reduced to Reserve at Portsmouth on 27 February, 1920.[6] In early 1929 she was one of three patrol boats attached to the Portland Anti-Submarine Flotilla,[7] where she remained until at least early 1933.[8]

She re-commissioned on 11 July, 1933. By mid-1937, she was in the Reserve Fleet at Devonport.[9]

In 1938, her bell was among a number of ships' bells the Royal Navy offered for sale to officers and others interested. It commanded a price of between £3-£10 plus packing and shipping. Interested parties were to apply to win one at its stated price, stating any special attachment or claim they had to the item(s) applied for.[10]
