Post War
Leith was placed on the disposal list and sold in 1946 into merchant service. She was renamed Byron, and later Friendship in 1948. She was then acquired by the Royal Danish Navy in 1949 and renamed HMDS Galathea. She undertook a two-year deep sea hydrographic expedition, circumnavigating the world in 1950–52, and was sold for scrapping at Odense in 1955.
