The first HMAS Warrego was a Royal Australian Navy River class destroyer. Warrego was built in Scotland and shipped to Sydney where she was re-assembled and commissioned in June 1912. During World War I Warrego took part in the search for the German Pacific Squadron and the capture of the German Colonies in the South West Pacific, served with the British Far East Patrol and operated in the Mediterranean. Following the war she operated with an Allied Squadron in the Black Sea and returned to Australia in May 1919. HMAS Warrego paid off in April 1928 and sank while being dismantled in 1931.
