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

Service

Ross commissioned on 27 August, 1919.[7]

By 1925, Ross was supporting the Fifth Submarine Flotilla. The flotilla ventured to Oban and to Antwerp. By November, it was being dubbed the Anti-Submarine Flotilla. It arrived at Yarmouth on November 9. The next day, Ross went to sea for exercises with Alecto and Maidstone.[8] This outing would evolve into a rather large exercise in the Channel south of Dartmouth. On the 12th, the submarine M 1 would go missing in rough seas.[9]

The ship again commissioned on 15 October, 1926.[10]

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.[11]

She was re-commissioned at The Nore with reserve complement on 28 May, 1934.[12]
