H.M.S. Seawolf was one of sixty-seven "S" class destroyers built for the Royal Navy as the Great War was ending.

Service

Completed to full crew on 20 October, 1919.[6]

Commissioned 15 July, 1921.[7]

Reduced to three-fifths complement on 1 December, 1925.[8]

In 1930, she collided with a steam trawler Walter S. Bailey and Cdr. Herbert Masterman Hughes would be told to be more careful in future.[9]

It was decided in September 1930 to offer her for sale in light of her damaged condition, and she was to be relived by the Tenedos from the Rosyth Maintenance Reserve.[10]

Captains

Dates of appointment are provided when known.

There seems to be some confusion between Bolster and Arbuthnot.
