 | The first Westminster was a W Class destroyer of 1100 tons launched on 24 February 1918 and completed only nine weeks later. |
| From 1938-39 several V&W Class Destroyers were taken in hand for re-armament as anti-aircraft escort destroyers, their six 21" torpedo tubes being removed and the four single 4" low-angled guns replaced by two 4" high-angled guns with a modern AA director. |
| The destroyer was towed to Dunkirk, where she was docked for emergency repairs; on 20th May the Westminster was towed to Dover, where she arrived early on the 21st. |
