HMS Mutine

[FL 16588 Imperial War Museums]
Pennant No. J227
 
HMS Mutine remained in the Mediterranean sweeping mines until 1946, when she returned to the UK with the rest of her flotilla.
 
She was paid off at Sheerness and reduced to the reserve, being laid up at Harwich. She was recommissioned in April 1956 to replace HMS Lysander for minesweeping training at Portsmouth. After this requirement ended, Mutine was used as a ship target for aircraft training and returned to the reserve at Chatham.
 
She was refitted for use as an anti-submarine escort in 1958-9 but was never recommissioned, and was put up for disposal in 1966.
 
She was sold for scrapping on 13 December 1966, and was towed to Barrow-in-Furness, arriving on 7 April 1967 to be broken up.
