HMS Bryony (1917)

HMS Bryony was an Anchusa-class sloop of the Royal Navy, built at the yards of Armstrong Whitworth and launched on 27 October 1917. Like other ships of her class she was used to escort convoys during the First World War and was disguised as a merchant vessel as a Q-ship. She stayed in Royal Navy service after the war, and between 7 April 1933 and January 1934 she was commanded by Bernard Warburton-Lee, who was later awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross in the Second World War. She was decommissioned before the outbreak of the Second World War and was sold on 3 April 1938 to Cashmore of Newport, Monmouthshire, to be broken up. The article states no machinery or fuel for her.
