HMS Brereton (M1113)[1] was a Ton class minesweeper of the Royal Navy.
Launched in 1953, she was renamed HMS St David in 1954 when she became a tender to the South Wales unit of the Royal Naval Reserve, which later became HMS Flying Fox. She served as such until 1961, when her named reverted to Brereton. She continued in service after this, and was broken up in Bruges in 1992.[2]
