Odin Recommissioned again

She travelled from the Middle East to Portsmouth Harbour, for refit, arriving in early May 1919. On the 9th of May there was the simple entry "Ship paid off" and nothing more in the log for that day or that book.

The logs restarted at the 24th of May with this page. New captain, new log keeper and new crew from HMS Dwarf, some TBs and the Portsmouth Barracks.

Having received her new crew in Portsmouth she set off to Gibraltar, where she arrived on the 7th of June. Two days later that crew is paid off and she is left to a care and maintenance crew again.

Interestingly the crew went back to HMS Dwarf.

She then goes quiet for almost 3 months then:

Again we have new captain, crew and judging by the writing two new log keepers. I know which I prefer.

However, we start short of 100 lbs of potatoes lost overboard.
