HMS Garth was a Type I Hunt-class destroyer of the Royal Navy built by John Brown & Company on the River Clyde, and launched on 28 December 1939.

She was adopted by the Civil Community of Wokingham, Berkshire, as part of the Warship Week campaign in 1942.

On commissioning in 1940 Garth completed work ups for service in Home waters, including the Northwestern approaches and the English Channel.

In October 1944 she provided naval gunfire support ahead of the Allied assault on Walcheren, which defended the Scheldt estuary and port of Antwerp.

Foreign vessels included two of the Dutch Navy submarines of the T-class, Dolfijn and Zeehond.
