H.M.S. Yeovil was one of one hundred and fourteen Hunt Class minesweepers completed for the Royal Navy.
Service
Yeovil paid off on 23 October, 1919 into the hands of a C. & M. Party.[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. Yeovil 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]
