In October 1919 she was assigned the pennant number D77 under the reorganization of the Fleet. The Flotilla served in Home waters in the early 1920s. The Flotilla was first assigned to the Mediterranean and in 1926 to the China Station. She was involved in the Nanking Incident in March 1927. In the early 1930s she was placed in reserve as more modern destroyers came on line.
