She was the only unit of the Hawkins class to be completed with 70,000 shp (52,000 kW) machinery, and on trials off Isle of Arran on 7–9 September 1920 reached her designed speed of 31 knots (57 km/h) at full power of 71,350 shp (53,210 kW). At half power, 35,000 shp (26,000 kW), she still managed to make 28 knots (52 km/h). After trials the ship proceeded to Devonport for completion as a flagship.

In April 1922, Sir William Christopher Pakenham was Admiral of the Royal Navy's America and West Indies Station and he designated HMS Raleigh as his flagship. Sir Arthur Bromley was captain of HMS Raleigh. It was through his negligence that the ship was lost. On August 8, 1922, Captain Bromley sped the flagship through a thick fog and ran her aground at Point Amour in Forteau Bay, Labrador. Eleven sailors were drowned in the shipwreck.
