H.M.S. Carnation was one of twelve Azalea Class sweeping sloops completed for the Royal Navy.

Service

Carnation was repaired after striking a mine in early 1917, and in August of that year Lt. Cdr. Barry Victor Sturdee was appointed in command. Sturdee had recently recovered after suffering what had been diagnosed as a "mental disturbance."[6]

On 25 November 1917, a Court of Enquiry was convened to probe a collision between Carnation and the sweeping sloop Pansy. Lt. Cdr. Sturdee was cautioned to be more careful in future as a result, but he remained in command.[7]
