H.M.S. Malvern was one of one hundred and fourteen Hunt Class minesweepers completed for the Royal Navy.
Service
Paid off at Devonport on 22 July, 1919.[6]
In early 1926, she was part of the Reserve Fleet at the Nore.[7]
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. Malvern 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.[8]
Captains
- Lieutenant R.N.R. in Command William G. Busk-Wood, 12 June, 1919[9] – 1919[10] (left to Elgin upon Malvern reducing)
