Service
Commissioned at Chatham on 15 January, 1926. In mid-1927, she was supposed to be part of the Fourth Cruiser Squadron on the East Indies Station, but was temporarily attached to the China Station.[6]
Emerald was again commissioned at Devonport on 4 September, 1928, and this time was indeed attached to the Fourth Cruiser Squadron on the East Indies Station.[7]
She was commissioned at Devonport 24 March, 1931 for service with the Fourth Cruiser Squadron on the East Indies Station under the command of Captain John Wittewronge Clayton.[8]
Paid off on 15 July, 1933.[9]
Re-commissioned for service with the Fourth Cruiser Squadron on the East Indies Station on 22 April, 1937.[10]

- Captain John G. Crace, 11 June, 1934[19][20] – 15 January, 1937[21] (and as Flag Captain and Chief of Staff to Wing Commander Rose)
- Acting Captain Tom O. Bulteel, 20 May, 1936[22] – 1 January, 1937[23] (temporary)

- Captain Francis C. Flynn, 18 June, 1940[27] – 25 August, 1942[28]
- Commander Edward S. F. Fegen, 1 July, 1939[29] – 28 February, 1940[30] (this seems dubious)
- Commander Richard G. Stewart, 25 August, 1942[31] – 3 November, 1942[32]
- Acting Commander (retired) John F. Denman, 3 November, 1942[33] – 13 March, 1943[34]
- Captain Francis J. Wylie, 13 March, 1943[35][36] – 28 September, 1944[37]
- Acting Commander (retired) John F. Denman, 28 September, 1944[38] – 5 October, 1944[39]
- Captain (retired) Robin W. M. Lloyd, 5 October, 1944[40] – 9 March, 1945[41]

There is clearly a disagreement between Agar and Fegen. Flynn's service record says he served vice Agar.
