How about this then from the same website:

The R32 was commissioned in to the Navy on 3rd September 1919, with the original plans of being a high speed Naval scout ship. However with the war over, there was confusion as to what to do with the R32, and the other airships still in existence. After her first trail flight on 3rd September 1919 which took the ship around Bedofrd to salute the town of her construction, she flew on to Pulham Airship Station in Norfolk on the 6th September. She was technically decommissioned from the Navy in October 1919 and her ownership changed to the new Royal Air Force, who took over all airship operations
