The first HMAS Voyager (D-31/I-31) was a 'V' class destroyer laid down by Alexander Stephen and Sons at Linthouse in Scotland on 7 May 1917, launched on 8 May 1918, completed on 24 June 1918 and commissioned into the Royal Navy, transferred to the Royal Australian Navy at Portsmouth on 11 October 1933 and commissioned as HMAS Voyager. Voyager departed for Australia on 17 October 1933, paid off to reserve on 14 April 1936 but re-commissioned on 26 April 1938, and served in the Mediterranean where she was involved in the evacuation of Greece in April 1941.

The ship's crew was safely evacuated by HMAS Kalgoorlie and HMAS Warrnambool on 25 September 1942 and the ship destroyed by demolition charges.
