HMAS Stalwart (H14)
HMAS ''Stalwart'' (H14) was an Admiralty S class destroyer of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Built for the Royal Navy during World War I, the ship was not completed until 1919, and spent less than eight months in British service before being transferred to the RAN at the start of 1920. The destroyer's career was uneventful, with almost all of it spent operating along the east coast of Australia. ''Stalwart'' was decommissioned at the end of 1925, was sold for ship breaking in 1937, then was scuttled in 1939.
