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]

She was re-commissioned on 6 July, 1923 for service with the Third Destroyer Flotilla in the Mediterranean.[9]

Re-commissioned at Devonport on 16 October, 1928 for service with the Third Destroyer Flotilla in the Mediterranean.[10]

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."[11]
