Ship identification? late 1920s maybe

(1/1)

Kestrel:
I have this unidentified ship amongst family photos... likely to be late 1920s..a tropical station it appears . Any suggestions welcome

PhiloNauticus:
It is a pre-war RN sloop - v. difficult to positively identify, but looks like Egret or Bittern class [built mid-late 1930s]
I cannot see any armament mounted, so could well be one of them that were employed on surveying duties, when the armament was removed -  HMS Stork perhaps - she served in the Far East pre-war.      Most photo's of these ships on the internet show them in full wartime mode, armed and with camouflage,  which make it difficult to pin down

Kestrel:
Thanks for the ID.. if none the wiser what the significance of this particular ship might be for a family member..
