She paid off into Maintenance Reserve at Rosyth on 30 March, 1928.[10]
The ship was reduced to Reserve at Portsmouth on 31 March, 1931.[11]
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.[12]
Stronghold was re-commissioned at Portsmouth on 27 September, 1934 under Lt. Cdr. Arthur Caerlyon Stanford for service with the Home Fleet.[13]
Re-commissioned at Devonport on 1 January, 1937.[14]
