She served with the 5th Flotilla at Portsmouth in 1929–1930, with the 4th Flotilla at Hong Kong from 1930–1939, with the 8th Flotilla at Colombo in Ceylon in 1939–1940, and with the 1st Flotilla at Alexandria in Egypt in 1940. Odin was sent to Malta shortly before Italy declared war on 10 June.[1]

Odin was depth charged and sunk in the Gulf of Taranto, most probably by the Italian destroyers Strale and Baleno on 14 June 1940.[3][4]
