H.M.S. Wolverine was one of fifteen destroyers of the Modified "W" class.
There was an earlier Beagle class destroyer named H.M.S. Wolverine lost in a collision in late 1917.
Service
Wolverine was commissioned at Devonport on 23 June, 1920.[8] The ship was completed and delivered on 27 July. She proceeded to Portysmouth to be completed with stores and then join the Third Destroyer Flotilla of the Atlantic Fleet.[9]
She was re-commissioned on 6 July, 1923 for service with the Third Destroyer Flotilla in the Mediterranean.[10]
In 1923, she was one of five destroyers and flotilla leader types to be given new, opalescent glass dials with sixteen orders for their Chadburn's Torpedo Telegraphs, an increase from the 12 orders in the original design. They required new gearing to match. It was resolved that further installations of this type should occur "as soon as financial conditions permit of it."[11]
She went into reserve at Malta and completed repairs there on 6 November 1926.[12]
She re-commissioned at Malta on 29 January, 1927 for service with the Third Destroyer Flotilla, which was then serving on the China Station.[13]
Wolverine was re-commissioned at Devonport on 16 October, 1928 for service with the Third Destroyer Flotilla, which was by now back in the Mediterranean.[14]
She was reduced to Maintenance Reserve at Rosyth on 6 October, 1930.[15]
Wolverine was commissioned at Plymouth on 27 February, 1937.[16]
