Stalwart was paid off to reserve on 1 December 1925. The ship was sold to Penguins Limited for ship breaking on 4 June 1937. The ship was stripped of useful materials, and the remaining hulk was sunk at on 22 July 1939. The ship had been loaded with a cargo of condemned onions before sinking: currents removed many onions from the wreck and caused them to wash up on beaches around Bondi. The ship's mast was removed before the ship's sinking, and is preserved inside the Royal Australian Navy Heritage Centre.
