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

History

The Fourth was the last sloop flotilla to be created in the Great War, apparently being created between 1 August and 1 October, 1918.

November, 1918

The flotilla appears in the Navy List, comprising the bulk of the new Southern Patrol Force. It has six sloops, and the S.P.F. otherwise has a depot ship, Venerable and the flotilla leader Lightfoot, which is paid off.[1]

March, 1919

The flotilla's vessels appear, along with other sloops, unlabelled, at Portland. It seems the formation was disbanded in February.[2]

Flotilla Disbanded – sloops sent to Portland

By June, most of the sloops would be placed in Reserve at Portland, with Sefton and Ormonde apparently now assigned to the Portland Anti-Submarine Flotilla.[3]
