H.M.S. Marlow was one of one hundred and fourteen Hunt Class minesweepers completed for the Royal Navy.

Service

Paid off on 20 December 1919 to the care of a C. & M. Party at The Nore.[7]

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

As the Central Reserve of Minesweepers at Sheerness was being merged into the general Fleet Reserve at the Nore in February 1928, it was deemed necessary to trim the fat. Marlow was one of ten obsolete minesweepers ordered to be placed on the for sale list, adding to a group of nine previously set for disposal.[9]

Captains

The conflict between Larcom and Cavaye is noted.
