Hi Jim,
Fantastic work, as usual!
I have been meaning to write for a while now, to add a snippet of information on the ship: as you mention, very little info is available. What i found out, from a book titled "Hellenic Warships 1829-2001" by C.Paizis-Paradellis, is that Smyrni was ceded to Greece in replacement of the torpedo boat Doxa, which was sunk while manned by a French crew and under the French flag in 1917. She was used for the training, during winter voyages, of naval cadets. She was decommissioned sometime between 1930 and 1932.
