Service
On 25 July 1919 (1918?), the Gainsborough collided with the minesweeper Shrewsbury in Granton Roads. Both captains were found equally to blame.
Paid off 25 October 1919.[7]
In January, 1921, she was at Southampton, one of twenty-eight paid off minesweepers there.[8]
As the Central Reserve of Minesweepers at Sheerness was being merged into the general Fleet Reserve at the Nore in February 1928, it was deemed necessary to trim the fat. Gainsborough was one of ten obsolete minesweepers ordered to be placed on the for sale list, adding to a group of nine previously set for disposal.[9]
