HMS Godetia was a Arabis-class sloop of the Royal Navy Fishery Protection Squadron.[1] She was launched in 1916, had a deep load displacement of 1350 tons, and was broken up in 1937.[1]
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.[2] The trawler was captured after Godetia returned briefly to Norway to re-coal and resupply.[2] The Godetia was soon relieved by HMS Harebell under Captain Evans, commander of the fishery protection cruiser squadron.[2]
