H.M.S. Godetia was one of thirty-six Arabis Class sweeping sloops completed for the Royal Navy.
Service
Godetia was commissioned at Devonport on 13 January, 1920.[6]
She completed a refit at Sheerness Royal Dockyard on 11 March, 1927 and returned to service in the North Sea as a fishing patrol boat.[7]
In June of 1933, her bell was one of about 100 surplus bells announced as being for sale at prices ranging from £1 to £10. Preference would be given to those offers from men with a special consideration in the bell in question.[8]
In early 1936, after more than sixteen years as the ship of the Local Fishery Officer for the North Sea, it was declared that Godetia would pay off for disposal and be replaced by Lupin.[9]
