HMS Wintringham (M2777/IMS77) was a Ham-class minesweeper for the Royal Navy. Their names were all chosen from villages ending in -ham. The minesweeper was named after Wintringham. She remained in operational reserve in a land cradle at Rosneath on the Clyde until 1963. She was transferred to the Royal Australian Navy on 9 June 1966, arriving in Sydney as deck cargo on the merchant ship Gladstone Star on 29 July 1968. She was converted into a diving tender by Halvorsens, renamed HMAS Seal (DTV1001/Y298) and entered service in December 1968.
