Service

When Commander Lionel George Dawson travelled to Invergordon to join his new command in February, 1919, he stopped by his club and picked up "a silver rose-bowl, and other articles for the ship, subscribed for by the inhabitants of the islands of Trinidad and Tobago." When the ship was mined in the Black Sea in 1921, these items would make their way to the naval depot at Malta, Egmont.[6]

She arrived at Malta on 2 June, 1919 in company with Senator.[7] On 21 July, she departed Malta for Fiume,[8] arriving there with Steadfast on 23 July.

On 5 October 1919 she arrived at Pola on her way to Abazzia.[9] On 23 October she left for Malta along with Martin.[10]

On 30 December 1919, she departed Constantinople for Malta,[11] arriving there on 19 January, 1920.[12]

On 8 March 1920 she left Constantinople for Batoum.[13]

Tobago paid off on 15 December, 1920.[14]
