H.M.S. Wolsey was one of twenty-one "W" class destroyers completed for the Royal Navy in 1917-18.

Service

Wolsey was re-commissioned on 8 September, 1920.[7]

She completed to Full Complement on 19 February, 1925.[8]

Reduced to Reserve at Malta on 31 July, 1925.[9]

Commissioned at Malta on 11 June, 1926. In mid-1927, she had no clear captain, but Lieutenant George Edward Cameron Wood was the senior officer in the Navy List for her.[10]

She was commissioned at Malta on 5 March, 1931 to serve with the Third Destroyer Flotilla in the Mediterranean.[11]

She was commissioned at Malta on 11 September, 1932, this time to serve with the Third Submarine Flotilla in the Mediterranean.[12]

In 1935, her bell was one of several ships' bells the Royal Navy offered for sale to officers and others interested. It attracted a price of £1-£5, and men were to apply to win one at the fixed price, stating any special attachment or claim they had to the item(s) applied for.[13]
