She was requisitioned in September 1939 and was converted by the Thorneycroft Shipyard at Northam for employment as an anti-submarine vessel.  After her conversion, in November 1939, she joined A/S Group 89 based at Portland.  This group served as seagoing tenders to the Anti-Submarine School and St Modwen was used for training Asdic operators and depth-charge release crews.

In May 1941 she was reallocated to the 84th A/S Group based at Campbeltown where she was employed for the rest of the war on local escort duties and on anti-U-Boat patrols at the entrance to the Clyde..
