Notes

Served for some time as a barrage balloon vessel during WW2. Withdrawn from service in 1973 and sold in 1975 and became a floating restaurant on the Embankment at London. A rebuild in 2003/2004 at Great Yarmouth saw most of her traditional upper works and paddle boxes removed, but her engines can still be viewed.
