The rest served with another navies. Both served with the 3rd Training Squadron based in Derry. Both ships had their 'B' gun turret removed in 1948 and replaced with a deckhouse.[1] In 1953 she took part in the Coronation Review of the Fleet to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.[2] In 1954 both ships were laid up in reserve.

History in the Pakistan Navy

Crispin was sold to the Pakistan Navy on 29 February 1956 and renamed Jahangir.[3] Before being transferred she was given a refit by Thornycroft at Woolston. As part of this refit the gun turret was reinstated in 'B' position. The gun at 'X' position was removed and replaced by two Squid anti-submarine mortars.[4] She was formally handed over to the Pakistan Navy at Southampton on 18 March 1958. The refit and transfer was made under a US contract and transferred to the Pakistan Navy as part of the Military Assistance Program.[4]

Jahangir continued to serve in the Pakistan Navy until scrapped in 1982.
