I think Martin has read this record correctly.
    
World War 1 at Sea - Ships of the Royal Navy (https://www.naval-history.net/WW1NavyBritishShips-Dittmar3.htm#S) has :
STERLOCHY, hired drifter. Built 1910, 78grt, Buckie-reg BCK.65. In service 4.16-1919 on misc. service.

So it would appear that it was attached to HMS Cyclops initially and then transferred to HMS Gibraltar also at Scapa. (as opposed to the port of Gibraltar).
Baron (of Blackburn), Chadwick (Oswaldtwistle), Watkins (Swansea), Jones (x3 Swansea), Colton (Shropshire), Knight (Shropshire/Montgomery) , Bullen (Norfolk), White (Dorset)

Small ships did not have paymasters on board so this function was conducted by a Depot ship. On Royal Navy service records these would be entered as Depot Ship (Tender Ship).  It would be the tender ship that the sailor was actually serving on.
Battle of Jutland. Skagerrakschlacht. Endeavouring to identify all those in the British fleet that were present at the battle.
