H.M.S. Wild Swan was one of fifteen destroyers of the Modified "W" class.
Service
Commissioned on 10 October, 1919.[8]
Equipment
In 1923, she was one of five destroyers and flotilla leader types to be given new, opalescent glass dials with 16 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."[9]
