HMS Carstairs

HMS Carstairs

HMS "Carstairs" was a Hunt class minesweeper of the Royal Navy from World War I. She was originally to be named "Cawsand", but this was changed to avoid any conflict between the vessel name and a coastal location.

On 4 January 1924 she was renamed HMS "Dryad", but reverted to "Carstairs" on 15 August 1924.
