The Ninth Sloop Flotilla was a formation of sloops of the Royal Navy.

History

The Ninth was one of six new flotillas to first appear in the Navy List in July, 1918, joining the long-established First Sloop Flotilla and Tenth Sloop Flotilla.

July, 1918

The flotilla is formed as part of the British Aegean Squadron, with six sloops.[1] It very much resembled an unlabelled group of sloops on the same station that had been in place since at least September, 1917.[2]

Peony has left and Azalea is paid off, reducing the formation's strength to five sloops. The membership would remain the same until some time in December, and Azalea would be re-commissioned before 1 November.[3]

Anemone and Azalea remain listed with six other sloops, as part of the Aegean Squadron, but there is no name given to the formation. Jonquil has been sent to Devonport, and Heliotrope and Spiraea have become two of six sloops on the Black Sea and Marmora Division.[4]
