HMS Godetia (1916)

HMS Godetia was an Arabis-class sloop sloop of the Royal Navy Fishery Protection Squadron. She was launched in 1916, had a deep load displacement of 1,350 tons, and was broken up in 1937.

For a short while she served in the Arctic, and on 9 May 1923 a trawler from Hull – the Lord Astor – was seized by a Russian gunboat off the coast of Murmansk for alleged illegal fishing. The trawler was captured after Godetia returned briefly to Norway to re-coal and resupply. The Godetia was soon relieved by HMS Harebell (1918) under Captain Evans, commander of the fishery protection cruiser squadron.
