H.M.S. Lingfield was one of thirty-two Ascot Class paddle minesweepers completed for the Royal Navy.

Service

Lingfield would suffer two collisions under Lieutenant R.N.R. in Command John Anderson. She collided with the paddle minesweeper Chelmsford on 4 November 1917, and with the destroyer Violet on 31 March 1918. Anderson was merely told to be more careful in future after both incidents.[7]

In January, 1921, she was at Harwich, one of forty-one paid off minesweepers there.[8]
